no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0017] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a schematic appearance of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the first embodiment. like figure 1 As shown, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of the first embodiment includes an ultrasonic probe 1 and an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 3 . The ultrasonic probe 1 is equipped with a probe head 5 , a probe cable 7 and a probe connector 9 . In the detector head 5, a plurality of devices are built-in. To the base of the probe head 5, a probe cable 7 is connected, and a probe connector 9 is installed at the other end of the probe cable 7. The probe connector 9 is detachably connected to an insertion port (not shown) provided in the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 3 . In a state where the probe connector 9 is attached to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 3 , various electric signals are transmitted and received between the ultrasonic probe 1 and the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 3 ....

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0042] In the first embodiment, the device in the ultrasonic probe to which the operating voltage is supplied from the power supply circuit is the HVSW circuit. However, in the present embodiment, the supply destination of the operating voltage is not limited to only the HVSW circuit. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the second embodiment incorporates electronic equipment other than the HVSW circuit in the ultrasonic probe. Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described. In addition, in the following description, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the component which has substantially the same function as 1st Embodiment, and description is repeated only when necessary.

[0043] Figure 5 It is a figure showing the structure of the ultrasonic probe 1 and the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body 3 of 2nd Embodiment. In addition, in Figure 5 In, in order to simplify the description, the receiving circuit system is omitted.

Abstract

According to on embodiment, a power supply circuit is provided in a main body and generates operating voltages for various electric circuits in the ultrasonic probe. Signal lines SL1 connects the power supply circuit to the electric circuits by way of the probe connector, to supply operating voltages from the power supply circuit to the electric circuits. A voltage monitoring circuit is provided in the main body and monitors voltages supplied to the electric circuits, utilizing the input voltage from the ultrasonic probe. To supply input voltages to the voltage monitoring circuit, signal line SL2 branches from signal lines SL1 in the ultrasonic probe and connects the electric circuits and the voltage monitoring circuit to each other by way of the probe connector.

Description

technical field [0001] This embodiment relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body, and an ultrasonic probe. Background technique [0002] An ultrasonic vibrator for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves is installed in the ultrasonic probe. As one type of ultrasonic probe, there is a type in which an ultrasonic transducer and a transmission circuit that generates a drive signal are connected via a signal line via a high-voltage switch circuit, and the ultrasonic transducer to which the drive signal is supplied can be switched. The high-voltage switch circuit operates by application of a high-voltage operating voltage from a power supply circuit of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body. However, if a driving signal is directly supplied without an operating voltage due to some unfavorable conditions, the high-voltage switch circuit may be damaged. Therefore, typically, a voltage monitoring circuit is provided in ...
