[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a split-type intelligent stethoscope, including an ear hook 1. A connecting tube 2 is fixedly provided at one right end of the ear hook 1, and a control box 4 is fixedly provided at the other end of the connecting tube 2. A first connecting port 5 is fixedly provided at the other end of the control box 4. A first spiral cap 6 is spirally rotated on the outer side of the other end of the first connecting port 5. A rubber tube 7 is sleeved on the other end of the first spiral cap 6. A second spiral cap 8 is sleeved on the other end of the rubber tube 7. A second connecting port 21 is spirally rotated inside the second spiral cap 8. A stethoscope head 9 is fixedly provided at the other end of the second connecting port 21. The stethoscope head 9 is made of metal and has a heating wire inside. The heating wire is used to prevent the stethoscope head from being too cold and causing discomfort to the patient. The stethoscope head 9 is used to examine the patient's physical condition.

[0025] Specifically, an earplug 11 is fixedly provided on the left side of the ear hook 1. The earplug 11 is arc-shaped and made of silicone. The silicone earplug is used to prevent medical staff from experiencing ear discomfort due to prolonged auscultation, thus increasing the comfort of medical staff. A connecting wire 12 is sleeved on the outside of the ear hook 1. An ear cap 13 is fixedly provided on the other end of the connecting wire 12. The ear cap 13 fits into the outside of the earplug 11 and protects the earplug 11.

[0026] Furthermore, a flexible spring 3 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the ear hook 1, and the flexible spring 3 is arc-shaped, and the flexible spring 3 undergoes elastic deformation to shrink.

[0027] Furthermore, a display screen 14 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the control box 4, and a function key 15 is fixedly installed on the top right side of the control box 4. A heating button 22 is provided on one side of the function key 15. The heating button 22 controls the heating wire inside the stethoscope head 9 to heat through the internal electronic components of the control box 4.

[0028] It is worth noting that a switch 19 is slidably provided on the outer left side of the control box 4, and a charging port 20 is provided on the outer left side of the control box 4. The switch 19 is used to start the control box 4.

[0029] It is worth noting that a recording button 17 is fixedly provided on the top of the control box 4, and a sound outlet 16 is provided on the front of the control box 4. The recording button 17 is used to operate the control box 4 to archive the patient's physical condition for easy subsequent examination and comparison.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that an indicator light 18 is fixed on the top of the control box 4. The indicator light 18 is used to observe the status of the control box 4. A one-button heating function button is also set on the top of the control box 4. Before use, turn on the switch to control rapid heating to prevent the stethoscope head from being too cold and causing discomfort to the patient. In addition, a power display function can be set on the display screen of the control box 4 to facilitate replenishing the power at any time.

[0031] It is worth emphasizing that the upper part of the stethoscope head 9 is equipped with a rotating head 10, and the rotating head 10 is elliptical in shape. When medical staff hold the rotating head 10, the stethoscope head 9 rotates at the other end of the rotating head 10, which prevents medical staff from auscultating for a long time and causing hand strain.

[0032] Among them, the control box 4 is existing technology and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, a controller, and a switch 19, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail; the "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are as follows: Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.

[0033] It should be further noted that, to prevent cross-infection, an antibacterial coating is applied to the surface of the stethoscope head 9. This antibacterial coating can be made of silver ion antibacterial material or other antibacterial materials. The choice of antibacterial coating ensures that it meets medical-grade safety standards and will not pose any potential harm to patients or medical staff. These improvements effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection during medical procedures, providing patients with safer and more reliable diagnostic and treatment services.

[0034] Working principle: When using the device, medical staff first connect the second spiral cap 8 on one end of the tubing 7 to the second connection port 21 on the outside of the stethoscope head 9. Then, connect the first spiral cap 6 on the other end of the tubing 7 to the first connection port 5 on the outside of the control box 4. Turn on the switch 19 on the left side of the control box 4 and observe the status of the indicator light 18. The control box 4 will then start. Medical staff remove the ear cap 13 from the outside of the earplug 11. The connecting wire 12 is used to connect the ear cap 13 to prevent loss. Open the ear hook 1; the flexible spring 3 will elastically deform and retract the ear hook 1. Insert the earplug 11 into the ear. The silicone earplug is used to prevent the medical staff from aspirating. Prolonged use can cause ear discomfort, but this increases the comfort of medical staff. The medical staff holds the rotating head 10 and places the stethoscope head 9 on the patient's chest. The tubing 7 hangs down due to gravity, preventing wrist fatigue from prolonged work and ensuring examination efficiency. The display screen 14 shows the patient's physical examination data. Pressing the record button 17 records the patient's heartbeat, which is then played back through the sound outlet 16. When the control box 4's battery is depleted, it is charged through the charging port 20. Turning on the heating button 22 heats the built-in heating wire in the stethoscope head 9, reducing patient discomfort during auscultation.
