[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a home-use children's stethoscope 100, which includes a pickup unit 110, a first transmission line 120, a first connector 130, a second transmission line 140, a stethoscope body 150, a second connector 160, and a recorder 170. The two ends of the first transmission line 120 are connected to the pickup unit 110 and the first connector 130, respectively; the two ends of the second transmission line 140 are connected to the pickup unit 110 and the second connector 160, respectively. The first connector 130 is used to connect to the recorder 170, and the second connector 160 is connected to the recorder 170; or, the first connector 130 and the second connector 160 are mated together.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of this home-use children's stethoscope 100 is as follows: The home-use children's stethoscope 100 includes a pickup unit 110, a first transmission line 120, a first connector 130, a second transmission line 140, a stethoscope body 150, a second connector 160, and a recorder 170. The pickup unit 110 is used to attach to a target object to collect sound. In this embodiment, a sound collector is installed inside the device to collect sound and transmit it via the first transmission line 120 as an electrical signal. Its specific structure and principle are the same as those of the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here. The stethoscope body 150 is worn on the user's head to play the sound collected by the pickup unit 110. In this embodiment, a sound player is configured inside to convert the received sound electrical signal into sound for playback, thereby facilitating the user's auscultation. The specific structure and principle of the aforementioned sound player are the same as those of the prior art, so they will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, based on the aforementioned structure, the home-use children's stethoscope 100 transmits sound by converting it into electrical signals, thus employing an electronic stethoscope structure. Therefore, based on the aforementioned pickup section 110 and stethoscope body 150 structure, a noise reduction structure or a sound amplifier can also be provided to improve its performance. The specific structure is the same as the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0026] When connecting them, the purpose is to enable the sound signal collected by the pickup unit 110 to be transmitted to the recorder 170 or the stethoscope body 150. In this embodiment, based on the fact that the two ends of the first transmission line 120 are respectively connected to the pickup unit 110 and the first connector 130, and the two ends of the second transmission line 140 are respectively connected to the pickup unit 110 and the second connector 160, the stethoscope body 150 and the recorder 170 are detachably arranged. The purpose is to improve its flexibility of use, that is, the first connector 130 and the second connector 160 can be connected according to the needs of use. The head 160 is connected to the stethoscope body 150, which is then directly connected to the pickup unit 110; alternatively, the first connector 130 can be connected to the recorder 170, and the second connector 160 can be connected to the recorder 170, so that the sound collected by the pickup unit 110 is transmitted to the stethoscope body 150 via the recorder 170. In this way, the collected sound signal can be recorded and saved after being transmitted to the recorder 170, and can also be transmitted to the stethoscope body 150 for real-time auscultation. This allows auscultation and sound recording to be performed simultaneously, and the recording method is flexible and convenient. In summary, this home-use children's stethoscope 100 has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It can be flexibly fitted with a recorder 170, which makes it easy to record and reproduce sounds, thus meeting more usage needs and facilitating teaching demonstrations.
[0027] It should also be noted that, as described above, the home-use pediatric stethoscope 100 can incorporate a recorder 170, thereby enabling simultaneous auscultation and sound recording. Moreover, this configuration allows the recorder 170 to be used as an independent modular structure or used alone. That is, the stethoscope body 150 can be directly connected to the pickup unit 110, and the recorder 170 can be inserted when recording is required. In this way, the recorder 170 can be used either inserted or removed for independent use, facilitating the transmission and transfer of sound data. Thus, the home-use pediatric stethoscope 100 can still perform auscultation functions while the recorder 170 is removed for independent use.
[0028] It should be noted that, based on the above content, please refer to... Figures 1-6The recorder 170 can be used independently or in combination. In combination mode, the first connector 130 and the second connector 160 are connected to the recorder 170, so that the sound collected by the pickup unit 110 is transmitted to the auscultation unit 150 via the recorder 170. Based on this, the recorder 170 can save the sound signal collected by the pickup unit 110 and transmit the signal to the auscultation unit 150 in combination mode. Therefore, the recorder 170 may include a housing 171, a main board 172, a main controller 173, a movable connector 174, and a fixed connector 175. Both the motherboard 172 and the main controller 173 are housed within the housing 171; the movable connector 174 is movably connected to the housing 171 and has a storage position inside the housing 171 and a docking position outside the housing 171; the fixed connector 175 is fixedly connected to the housing 171. The movable connector 174 and the fixed connector 175 are both electrically connected to the main board 172. The movable connector 174 is used to mate with the first connector 130, and the fixed connector 175 is used to mate with the second connector 160.
[0029] In the above structure, the movable connector 174 and the fixed connector 175 can be connected to the first connector 130 and the second connector 160 as needed. The fixed connector 175 is placed inside the housing 171, while the movable connector 174 is movably set so that it can extend out of the housing 171 to connect with the first connector 130, or it can be stored inside the housing 171 to reduce its structural volume for independent use. In addition, the motherboard 172 and the main controller 173 can adopt existing technology. Their purpose is to receive the sound signal transmitted through the first transmission line 120, process and save it, and also transmit it synchronously to the second transmission line 140 for playback by the stethoscope body 150. The specific structure of the motherboard 172 and the main controller 173 will not be described in detail here.
[0030] In addition, to allow the movable connector 174 to easily extend or retract into the housing 171, the housing 171 has a built-in groove 178 for the movable connector 174 to slide in, and a paddle 179 that slides in conjunction with the groove 178. The paddle 179 is connected to the movable connector 174 within the groove 178. A portion of the paddle 179 protrudes from the housing 171 to facilitate user operation.
[0031] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6In this embodiment, based on the above structure, in order to facilitate the reproduction of recorded sound in teaching demonstrations or other usage scenarios, the recorder 170 also includes a speaker 181 connected to the housing 171. The speaker 181 is electrically connected to the motherboard 172, so that it can play the collected and saved sound externally when the recorder 170 is in a combined use state or an independent use state as needed.
[0032] It should be noted that the housing 171 is equipped with an operation panel that controls the sound recording and the playback of the speaker 181. Its specific structure includes buttons for turning the recorder 170 on and off and adjusting its working status, as well as buttons for controlling the volume and playback status of the speaker 181. Moreover, the aforementioned buttons are all electrically connected to the motherboard 172, and their specific structure will not be described in detail here.
[0033] It should also be noted that the housing 171 includes an upper housing 176 and a lower housing 177. The aforementioned buttons and the display panel that is electrically connected to the motherboard 172 are all connected to the upper housing 176, while the slide 178 is located in the lower housing 177.
[0034] In addition, to facilitate data transmission by the recorder 170, besides its wired connection to an external terminal via a movable connector 174 or a fixed connector 175 for data transmission, the recorder 170 may also include a communication module housed within the housing 171 and electrically connected to the motherboard 172. This communication module is used to communicate with external terminal devices. That is, the communication module enables wireless data transmission, thereby facilitating related data analysis or data acquisition.
[0035] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6 To facilitate timing during auscultation, the home-use pediatric stethoscope 100 also includes a timer 190, which is detachably connected to the housing 171. Specifically, the outer periphery of the housing 171 is provided with an annular groove 182; the timer 190 includes a timing body 191 and a connecting strap 192. The timing body 191 is connected to the connecting strap 192, and the connecting strap 192 is used to wrap around the annular groove 182. Furthermore, the connecting strap 192 is an elastic band, thereby improving its flexibility of use.
[0036] Based on the above, please refer to Figures 1-6In this embodiment, power is required for sound acquisition, signal transmission, and sound playback. Based on this, since the pickup unit 110, the recorder 170, and the stethoscope body 150 can be used together, at least one of the pickup unit 110, the stethoscope body 150, and the recorder 170 can have a built-in power supply. For example, a power supply can be built into the pickup unit 110 so that after the pickup unit 110, the stethoscope body 150, and the recorder 170 are electrically connected, power can be supplied through the built-in power supply in the pickup unit 110. The principle of building power supplies in the stethoscope body 150 and the recorder 170 is the same, so it will not be described again here.
[0037] In addition, to facilitate the use of the recorder 170 when it is removed and used independently, and to play sound through its built-in speaker 181, and to meet the auscultation needs when the stethoscope body 150 is directly connected to the pickup unit 110, the pickup unit 110, the stethoscope body 150 and the recorder 170 can all be equipped with built-in power supplies.
[0038] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
