Description

  The present invention relates to an imaging laryngoscope, and the structure thereof is a medical instrument that facilitates intubation work, and particularly relates to an imaging laryngoscope having an imaging structure attached to the laryngoscope.

  The early laryngoscope was an auxiliary device used when performing an intubation operation of an artificial trachea, and the tongue depressor of the laryngoscope was provided with an illumination function that facilitated the intubation operation. Since the imaging device and the image display panel that make the back of the throat easy to see are coupled to the laryngoscope, the user can accurately perform intubation.

  However, since a conventional laryngoscope combined with a commercially available imaging device and an image display panel is generally integrally formed, a medical institution has to forcibly replace an old type laryngoscope. However, since the old type laryngoscope is expensive, it is not easy to dispose of it, and when it is replaced with a new laryngoscope, the user needs to learn the operating method anew and become accustomed, which is not practical.

  The main purpose of the present invention is that an imaging device is attached to a conventional laryngoscope so that the user can observe the throat clearly when performing intubation, and it can be operated immediately without re-learning the operation method. It is an object of the present invention to provide an imaging laryngoscope that can.

A coupling rod 13 is fitted into the long hole 15 (see FIG. 2), and a signal emission unit 21 of the imaging device 2 is disposed on the clamping member 11.

  The imaging device 2 includes a signal emitting unit 21, a conduit 22, a lens 23 and a screen 24. The signal emitting unit 21 is disposed on the holding member 11 and a conduit 22 is coupled thereto. A signal line is provided in the conduit 22. A lens 23 is connected to the front end of the conduit 22, the lens 23 is located at the front end of the tongue depressor 32 of the laryngoscope 3 (see also FIG. 3), and around the lens 23, light emission that emits a light source. A body 231 is provided, and a positioning ring 221 is coupled to the conduit 22. The positioning ring 221 is coupled to the tongue depressor 32. As shown in FIG. 4, the signal emitting unit 21 is coupled to the screen 24 through a coupling unit 211 in a wired manner.

  The laryngoscope 3 has a conventional laryngoscope structure and includes a grip portion 31 and a tongue depressor 32. The uppermost part of the gripping part 31 is used for clamping the coupling rod 13 of the two clamping members 11, a tongue depressor 32 is coupled to the lower end of the gripping part 31, and a position close to the front end of the tongue depressor 32 A lens 23 is provided.

  Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when actually using the imaging laryngoscope according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user rotates and extends the two clamping members 11, and then the two clamping members 11. Is brought into contact with the grasping portion 31 of the laryngoscope 3 through the arc-shaped recess 12, and then the connecting rod 13 is rotated and inserted into the elongated hole 16, and then the operation plate 14 is rotated and the operation plate 14 is rotated. Then, the coupling rod 13 is driven together, and the clamping member 11 is displaced toward the other clamping member 11 by the coupling rod 13, and when the interval between the two arcuate recesses 12 is reduced, the two clamping members 11 are moved. Is clamped to the gripping part 31, the signal emitting unit 21 is fixed, the conduit 22 extends to the tongue depressor 32, the positioning ring 221 is fixed onto the tongue depressor 32, and the lens 23 is fixed to the front end of the tongue depressor 32. As shown in FIG. When turned on, the video signal photographed by the lens 23 is transmitted to the signal emitting unit 21.
