Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature measuring instrument technology, and in particular to a temperature measuring gun for holding a tongue depressor. Background Technology

[0002] In pediatric diagnosis and treatment, body temperature measurement and examination of the throat are fundamental steps in assessing a patient's health status. This allows medical staff to quickly determine whether a child has fever symptoms, as well as whether there are signs of inflammation, redness, swelling, abnormal secretions, etc., providing important evidence for early screening and diagnosis of diseases. Oral temperature measurement is widely used in clinical practice because it reflects core body temperature and has high accuracy. However, in practice, oral temperature measurement is not widely used in pediatric care due to the young age and low cooperation of patients. When oral temperature measurement is necessary, medical staff often need to hold both the thermometer and a tongue depressor simultaneously. The tongue depressor opens the patient's mouth while the thermometer is operated to collect the temperature. This two-handed operation not only increases the workload of medical staff but also may cause the measurement position to shift due to patient non-cooperation, affecting measurement accuracy. Furthermore, it hinders medical staff from observing the patient's throat, requiring them to use the tongue depressor again to open the patient's mouth for observation. This not only reduces diagnostic efficiency but also increases the amount of tongue depressor used. Additionally, if the tongue depressor is not securely fixed, it may cause patient discomfort or even damage to the oral mucosa, increasing the difficulty of doctor-patient cooperation and patient discomfort. Moreover, if a conventional mercury thermometer is used to measure oral temperature, there is a risk that the child may bite and break the thermometer, leading to mercury leakage and potential mercury poisoning. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a temperature measuring gun for holding a tongue depressor, which can effectively solve the above problems.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a temperature measuring gun for holding a tongue depressor, comprising: a main body;

[0006] The main body includes a gun body and a gun handle. An infrared sensor is provided at the end of the gun body away from the gun handle. A slot is provided on the gun body near the infrared sensor. The slot is configured as a connecting clamp. A storage cavity is formed inside the clamp for placing a tongue depressor.

[0007] As a further improvement, a side cover is provided on one side of the gun body, a display panel is provided on the other end of the gun body away from the infrared sensor, and an on / off switch is provided on the gun body near the display panel.

[0008] As a further improvement, the grip is provided with multiple anti-slip strips, and the grip has function keys and switching keys on the side near the display panel.

[0009] As a further improvement, the clamp includes an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate, the lower clamping plate being rotatably disposed on the upper clamping plate, a storage cavity being formed between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate, and a matching insert being disposed on the side of the upper clamping plate near the slot.

[0010] As a further improvement, the upper clamping plate is provided with several slots on both sides, the upper clamping plate is provided with a first rotating part at the connection with the lower clamping plate, and the upper clamping plate is provided with several protrusions on the side near the storage cavity.

[0011] As a further improvement, several locking blocks are provided on both sides of the lower clamping plate at the positions corresponding to the slots, a second rotating part is provided on the lower clamping plate at the position corresponding to the first rotating part, and multiple protrusions are formed on the side of the lower clamping plate near the storage cavity.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a detachable clamp on the body of the temperature gun, allowing it to securely hold the tongue depressor. Medical staff no longer need to operate the temperature gun and tongue depressor separately; they can perform both actions with just one hand, effectively reducing the difficulties and burden caused by children's low cooperation during pediatric care. Secondly, because the tongue depressor is stably fixed by the clamp, the infrared probe and tongue depressor face the same direction. Medical staff can directly observe the patient's throat using the tongue depressor while simultaneously collecting temperature, improving the accuracy of oral temperature measurement, shortening treatment time, and increasing overall treatment efficiency. By incorporating multiple protrusions within the clamp, the tongue depressor is securely held in place, preventing it from detaching during operation. The lower and upper clamps are rotatably connected, secured by slots and blocks. After the examination, the tongue depressor can be detached from the clamp by releasing the blocks and slots, improving ease of operation and preventing medical staff from manually removing the tongue depressor, thus reducing the risk of cross-infection and enhancing hygiene. Furthermore, the clamp and temperature gun are detachably connected, facilitating disinfection and cleaning of the clamp by medical staff, further reducing the risk of cross-infection and improving treatment safety. The use of an infrared probe replaces conventional mercury thermometers for measuring oral temperature, avoiding the risks of mercury poisoning and glass damage to the oral cavity, making oral temperature measurement more convenient.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a temperature measuring gun for holding a tongue depressor includes: a main body 1;

[0024] The main body 1 includes a gun body and a handle. An infrared sensor 11 is installed at the end of the gun body away from the handle. A slot 12 is provided on the gun body near the infrared sensor 11. The slot 12 is configured to connect a clamp 2. A storage cavity 24 is formed inside the clamp 2 for placing a tongue depressor 3. By setting a detachable clamp 2 on the gun body of the temperature measuring gun, the clamp 2 can firmly hold the tongue depressor 3. Medical staff do not need to operate the temperature measuring gun and the tongue depressor 3 with both hands. They only need to hold the temperature measuring gun with one hand to complete the tongue depressor and temperature measurement actions, which effectively reduces the operational difficulties and burden caused by the low cooperation of children in pediatric diagnosis and treatment.

[0025] Furthermore, the main body 1 includes an integrated gun body and a gun handle. The gun body has a long strip structure, and the gun handle can be designed in an arc shape to adapt to the hand-holding posture. An infrared probe 11 is embedded at the end of the gun body away from the handle. This probe uses an infrared temperature measurement module to quickly collect temperature data inside the mouth. A measuring trigger 19 is installed on the outer wall of the handle. A circuit board is installed inside the gun body, and the infrared temperature measurement module is electrically connected to the circuit board. A display panel 15 is installed at the other end of the gun body away from the infrared probe 11. A display module is installed on the display panel 15, and the display module is electrically connected to the circuit board. The display panel 15 can display information such as the measured temperature and mode in real time. A power switch 16 is located near the display panel 15. A long press can turn the device on or off, and a short press can lock the measurement data. A storage module is also installed inside the gun body, and the display module is electrically connected to the storage module. When performing temperature detection, the infrared probe 11 is pointed at the area to be measured, and then the measuring trigger 19 is pressed. At this time, the body temperature is detected by the infrared measurement module, and the detected information is sent to the display module through the circuit board. The display module displays the data on the display panel 15, and the data information is saved through the storage module. The grip surface is integrally molded with multiple anti-slip strips 14, which are made of rubber to increase hand grip friction and prevent slippage. On the side of the grip near the display panel 15, there are function keys 17 and switch keys 18. Function keys 17 and switch keys 18 are electrically connected to the circuit board. Function key 17 is used to switch body temperature units (°C / ℉), and switch key 18 is used to read previous temperature measurement data. The bottom of the grip has a battery compartment for storing batteries.

[0026] The gun body has a slot 12 near the infrared sensor 11. The slot 12 is configured to connect the clamp 2. In this embodiment, the slot 12 has a rectangular groove structure and circular groove structures on both sides of the rectangular groove structure, which are used to cooperate with the plug block 23 of the clamp 2 to achieve a stable connection. A side cover 13 is provided on one side of the gun body. The electronic components inside the gun body can be inspected and replaced by removing the side cover 13.

[0027] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4-5As shown, in order to stably fix the tongue depressor, a clamp 2 is provided. The clamp 2 includes an upper clamp 21 and a lower clamp 22. The lower clamp 22 is rotatably mounted on the upper clamp 21. The upper clamp 21 and the lower clamp 22 are closed to form a storage cavity 24. A matching insert 23 is integrally formed on the side of the upper clamp 21 near the slot 12. In order to improve the connection stability between the clamp 2 and the main body 1, anti-slip texture is provided on the surface of the insert 23 to ensure that the clamp is not easy to loosen after connection. The upper clamp 21 has a first rotating part 212 integrally formed at the connection with the lower clamp 22. The lower clamp 22 has a second rotating part 222 at the position corresponding to the first rotating part 212. The first rotating part 212 and the second rotating part 222 are connected by a metal pin, so that the lower clamp 22 can be rotated downward around the pin to realize the opening and closing of the storage cavity 24.

[0028] The upper clamp 21 has multiple protrusions 25 on the side near the storage cavity 24, and the lower clamp 22 has multiple protrusions 25 on the side near the storage cavity 24. The protrusions 25 are elongated. The protrusions 25 of the upper clamp 21 and the lower clamp 22 press against both sides of the tongue depressor 3 to increase friction and prevent slippage during use. Several slots 211 are provided on both sides of the upper clamp 21, and locking blocks 221 are provided on both sides of the lower clamp 22 at the positions corresponding to the slots 211. When the clamp 2 is closed, the locking blocks 221 can be locked into the slots 211 to keep the storage cavity 24 closed and prevent the tongue depressor 3 from falling out. When the clamp 2 needs to be opened, the locking blocks 221 can be disengaged from the slots 211, allowing the lower clamp 22 to rotate downward under gravity and the tongue depressor 3 to be disengaged from the clamp 2. This prevents medical staff from directly contacting the tongue depressor 3 after treatment, which could lead to cross-infection.

[0029] Further, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] Insert the insert 23 of clamp 2 into the slot 12 of the gun body to close clamp 2. Insert the rear end of tongue depressor 3 into the storage cavity 24. Press the power button 16 to start the device. Select the body temperature unit by pressing the function key 17. Hold the gun handle and insert tongue depressor 3 into the patient's mouth and gently press the tongue to open the patient's mouth. At the same time, align the infrared probe 11 with the inside of the mouth and press the measurement trigger 19 to complete the temperature measurement. The temperature data is displayed in real time on the display panel 15. After the temperature measurement is completed, pull clamp 2 out of slot 12. Move the locking block 211 to disengage from the slot 211. The lower clamp 22 rotates under gravity, causing the tongue depressor 3 to disengage from clamp 2. After disinfecting clamp 2, it can be reused.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
