Abstract

Discloses herein is an electronic stethoscope, including a connector, wherein a membrane type auscultation head is in threaded connection with one end of the connector, a piezoelectric sheet is fixedly mounted in the membrane type auscultation head, a grip is in threaded connection with the other end of the connector, a circuit board is clamped in the grip, the circuit board is electrically connected to the membrane type auscultation head, a storage battery is electrically connected to one side of the circuit board, the storage battery is clamped in the grip, a microswitch and a loudspeaker are mounted on the other side of the circuit board in an electrically connected manner, a main silicone key body is clamped in the grip, and the main silicone key body is attached to the microswitch.

Claims (6)

1. An electronic stethoscope, comprising a connector, wherein a membrane type auscultation head is in threaded connection with one end of the connector, a piezoelectric sheet is fixedly mounted in the membrane type auscultation head, a grip is in threaded connection with the other end of the connector, a circuit board is clamped in the grip, the circuit board is electrically connected to the membrane type auscultation head, a storage battery is electrically connected to one side of the circuit board, the storage battery is clamped in the grip, a microswitch and a loudspeaker are mounted on the other side of the circuit board in an electrically connected manner, a main silicone key body is clamped in the grip, and the main silicone key body is attached to the microswitch.

2. The electronic stethoscope according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane type auscultation head is of a trumpet-shaped structure, a connection end is integrally formed on an outer wall of the small-diameter end of the membrane type auscultation head, the connection end is in threaded connection with the connector, an attachment end is integrally formed at the large-diameter end of the membrane type auscultation head, and the piezoelectric sheet is fixedly mounted on an inner wall of the attachment end.

3. The electronic stethoscope according to claim 2 , wherein a threaded column is fixedly connected to one end of the connector, the threaded column is in threaded connection with the connection end, a threaded ring is fixedly arranged at the other end of the connector, the threaded ring is in threaded connection with the grip, and a microphone hole is formed in the connector and the threaded column.

4. The electronic stethoscope according to claim 3 , wherein the grip comprises a housing, one end of the housing is sleeved on the threaded ring in a threaded manner, the circuit board, the main silicone key body and the storage battery are all clamped in an inner cavity of the housing, a key slot and loudspeaker holes are formed in an outer wall of one side of the housing, and the loudspeaker holes directly face the loudspeaker.

5. The electronic stethoscope according to claim 4 , wherein an adjusting key of an elastic rubber structure and an on/off key are fixedly mounted on the main silicone key body, the adjusting key and the on/off key are clamped in the key slot, the adjusting key and the on/off key are attached to the microswitch, a loudspeaker through hole is formed in the main silicone key body, and the loudspeaker is clamped in the loudspeaker through hole.

6. The electronic stethoscope according to claim 4 , wherein a type-c slot is formed in the end surface of the end of the housing that is far away from the connector, one end of a type-c sealing plug is fixedly connected to an inner wall of one side of the type-c slot, the type-c sealing plug is clamped in the type-c slot, a type-c interface is fixedly mounted at the end of the circuit board that is close to the type-c slot, the type-c interface is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the type-c sealing plug is closely attached to the type-c interface.
