Description

Heated Stethoscope {Heating type Auscultator}

The present invention relates to a heated stethoscope, and more particularly, to a heated stethoscope having a sterilizing function while heating to a temperature similar to the body temperature so that the patient does not feel cold when the doctor examines.

In general, a stethoscope is a medical device for a doctor to listen to the patient's heart sounds, a stethoscope head for contacting the patient's body and listening to the patient's heart sound, a waveguide for delivering the heart sound heard by the stethoscope head, It consists of earphones that listen to the heart sound of the patient transmitted from the waveguide.

However, the conventional stethoscope described above has the following disadvantages.

First, there was an unsanitary problem because the stethoscope head used in direct contact with the body of the patient was used for another patient without any disinfection.

Second, since the stethoscope head is made of a metallic material, it is easy for the patient to feel cold at the time of examination, and in particular, when the infant and the child are examined in winter, a surprise crying often occurs due to the cold.

The present invention is to solve the above-described problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a stethoscope for the stethoscope head in direct contact with the body of the patient to maintain a temperature close to the human body temperature.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a heated stethoscope having a sterilization function.

A feature of the present invention for achieving the above object is a stethoscope cap having a recess into which the stethoscope head can be inserted, and a fixing groove formed around the recess to detach the stethoscope head; A heating device installed at the front of the main portion of the stethoscope cap and heating the human body to a body temperature when the stethoscope is inserted; Installed inside the stethoscope cap is made of a power supply for supplying power to the heating device.

In a preferred embodiment, the power supply device includes a rechargeable battery and a charging device for charging the battery by connecting to a home power source.

In a preferred embodiment, the heating device is a hot wire.

In a preferred embodiment, the heating device is an ultraviolet lamp with sterilization and heating functions.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings to describe the present invention in detail.

First embodiment

The first embodiment relates to a sterile stethoscope which heats the stethoscope head portion to maintain a temperature similar to human body temperature.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional view of the sterilizing stethoscope according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the first stethoscope head 10 and the first stethoscope head 10 in direct contact with the patient's body to listen to the heart sounds A waveguide 12 is shown for delivering heart sounds from).

In addition, a first stethoscope cap 14 inserted into and detachable from the first stethoscope head 10 and a first stethoscope head 10 formed on an inner wall of an inlet of a recess of the first stethoscope cap 14 are formed. The first fixing groove 16 for attaching and detaching, and having a similar area to the first stethoscope head 10 on the front of the main portion of the first stethoscope cap 10, when the first stethoscope head 10 is heated A heat conduction plate 18 that performs a heat conduction function is provided. At this time, the heat conduction plate 18 is preferably formed of a metal material, for example, copper, aluminum, etc. to facilitate the heat conduction.

In addition, a heat wire 20 for contacting the heat conduction plate 18 and heating the heat conduction plate 18 at a predetermined temperature, and electrically connected to the heat wire 20, supplies power of a predetermined level to the heat wire 20. It comprises a first power supply 22 for supplying the.

Therefore, when not consulting, the first stethoscope head 10 may be inserted into the first stethoscope cap 14, and then the first stethoscope head 10 may be removed and used.

Second embodiment

The second embodiment relates to a sterile stethoscope which sterilizes the surface of the stethoscope head while maintaining the temperature similar to human body temperature by using an ultraviolet lamp.

Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional configuration of the sterilizing stethoscope according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the second stethoscope cap having a main portion to be detachable by inserting the first stethoscope head 10 connected to the waveguide 12 24 is shown.

A second fixing groove 26 formed to be detachable from the first stethoscope head 10 near the circumference of the second stethoscope cap 24, and the second stethoscope separated from the second fixing groove 26. Cap 24 is attached to the front of the main portion is provided with an ultraviolet lamp 28 to perform sterilization and heating functions.

In addition, a second power supply device 30 is installed inside the second stethoscope cap 24 and electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp 28 to supply a predetermined level of power.
