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.

[0031] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an automatically heated vaginal douche device, comprising:

[0033] The base 1 has a control system 2 and a heating cylinder 3 mounted on it. The heating cylinder 3 has a heating element 4 mounted on it.

For example, it can be controlled by a microcontroller or by a PLC, ARM (Advanced RISC Machine), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations.

[0034] A liquid storage component is detachably connected to the heating cylinder 3, and a temperature sensor 5 is installed inside the liquid storage component.

[0035] The housing 6 is detachably connected to the base 1. A switch 7 is installed on the outside of the housing 6, and a drive assembly is installed inside the housing 6. An end cover is detachably connected to one side of the housing 6 to facilitate maintenance of the inside of the housing 6.

[0036] A rotary flushing probe is rotatably connected to the housing 6. The output end of the drive assembly is connected to the rotary flushing probe. A silicone flushing probe is fitted on the top of the rotary flushing probe.

[0037] The liquid supply assembly has one end rotatably connected to the rotary flushing probe via a rotary joint 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the liquid storage assembly; both the liquid storage assembly and the rotary flushing probe are connected to the liquid supply assembly.

[0038] Among them, the heating element 4, temperature sensor 5, switch 7, drive assembly and liquid supply assembly are all electrically connected to the control system 2; the heating element 4, temperature sensor 5, switch 7, drive assembly, liquid supply assembly and control system 2 are all powered by an external power supply.

[0039] With this configuration, the present invention uses temperature sensor 5 to monitor the liquid temperature in the liquid supply assembly in real time and transmits the monitored temperature data to control system 2. Control system 2 adjusts the power of heating element 4, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the liquid temperature in the liquid supply assembly. This keeps the temperature of the rinsing or disinfecting solution in the liquid supply assembly close to body temperature, achieving constant temperature rinsing. This avoids the stimulation and discomfort caused to patients by excessively low or high rinsing solution temperatures in the prior art, and improves the comfort of the rinsing process and the treatment experience.

[0040] In operation, the drive component is started and stopped by the operation switch 7, thereby realizing the rotation and stopping of the rotating flushing probe. Rotation flushing can be achieved, which can distribute the flushing fluid more evenly. At the same time, the flushing process can be operated by a single person without the need for two nursing staff, saving manpower and improving work efficiency and flushing effect.

[0041] This invention features a silicone irrigation probe fitted onto the top of a rotating irrigation probe, facilitating probe replacement and reducing the risk of cross-infection. The softness and fit of the silicone irrigation probe help minimize damage to the vaginal wall, further enhancing the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0042] The solution is further optimized. The liquid storage component includes a flushing liquid tank 9 and a disinfectant liquid tank 10. Both the flushing liquid tank 9 and the disinfectant liquid tank 10 can be detachably connected to the heating cylinder 3. Temperature sensors 5 are installed in both the flushing liquid tank 9 and the disinfectant liquid tank 10.

[0043] Both the flushing liquid tank 9 and the disinfectant liquid tank 10 are equipped with liquid outlet pipes, and the tops of the two liquid outlet pipes are fixedly connected to and communicate with the liquid supply assembly through a three-way valve 11.

[0044] Two separate flushing solution tank 9 and disinfectant solution tank 10 are used to fill flushing solution and disinfectant solution respectively, allowing users to select different liquids for flushing as needed, thus improving the flexibility of the device.

[0045] The solution is further optimized. The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid supply pipe 12. One end of the liquid supply pipe 12 is fixedly connected to and connected to two liquid outlet pipes through a three-way valve 11. The other end of the liquid supply pipe 12 is rotatably connected to a rotary flushing probe through a rotary joint 8. The rotary flushing probe is connected to the liquid supply pipe 12.

[0046] A solenoid valve 13 and a water pump 14 are installed on the liquid supply pipe 12. Both the solenoid valve 13 and the water pump 14 are electrically connected to the control system 2.

[0048] When rotational rinsing is required, the control system 2 starts the drive motor 15, which drives the drive gear 16 to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 17 and the rotational rinsing probe to rotate.

[0049] Further optimization of the scheme: the rotary flushing probe includes a probe body 18 rotatably connected to the housing 6. Both ends of the probe body 18 extend out of the housing 6. The top of the probe body 18 is provided with several first drainage holes 19. The bottom of the probe body 18 is equipped with a rotary joint 8. The gear ring 17 is installed on the outer wall of the probe body 18. The rotary joint 8 communicates with the inner cavity of the probe body 18. The silicone flushing probe is sleeved on the top of the probe body 18.

[0050] The internal structure and working principle of the rotary joint 8 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The solution is further optimized. The silicone flushing probe includes a silicone probe body 20 sleeved on the top of the probe body 18.

[0052] The outlet pipes of the flushing liquid tank 9 and the disinfectant liquid tank 10 are connected to the supply pipe 12 through a three-way valve 11. By controlling the connection state of the three-way valve 11, liquid can be selectively drawn from the flushing liquid tank 9 or the disinfectant liquid tank 10. When flushing is required, the control system 2 opens the solenoid valve 13 and starts the water pump 14 to draw the selected liquid from the flushing liquid tank 9 or the disinfectant liquid tank 10 and deliver it to the rotary flushing probe through the supply pipe 12.

[0053] Liquid enters the inner cavity of the probe body 18 through the rotary joint 8, and then sprays out from the first drain hole 19 and the second drain hole 21.

[0054] In a further optimized design, the inner wall of the heating cylinder 3 is provided with a jacket, and the heating element 4 is installed in the jacket; in this embodiment, the heating element 4 is an electric heating wire; the liquid in the rinsing liquid tank 9 and the disinfectant liquid tank 10 is heated by the electric heating wire;

[0055] An insulation layer 22 is installed on the outer wall of the heating cylinder 3. In this embodiment, the insulation layer 22 is made of insulation cotton board. The insulation cotton board reduces heat loss and improves heating efficiency.

[0056] The design is further optimized by installing a bracket on the base 1, with a clamp 23 installed on the top of the bracket. The housing 6 is detachably connected to the clamp 23, which is used to securely place the housing 6 when it is not in operation.
