Equipment capable of automatically applying coupling agent

Abstract

The invention discloses equipment capable of automatically applying a coupling agent. The equipment comprises a container used for storing the coupling agent, an applying device communicated with thecontainer and used for applying the coupling agent on a probe, a detecting device used for detecting the area and position of the probe, a processor used for obtaining the application amount of the coupling agent according to the area, an agent outlet device used for discharging the coupling agent from the container to the applying device according to the application amount, a driving device usedfor driving the applying device according to the position to make the applying device apply the coupling agent onto the probe and a shell, wherein the container, the applying device, the detecting device, the agent outlet device and the driving device are all arranged on the shell, and the detecting device, the agent outlet device and the driving device are all in signal connection with the processor. The equipment capable of automatically applying the coupling agent has the advantages that automatic application of the coupling agent can be achieved; the problems are avoided that the application amount is difficult to control, a large waste of the coupling agent is caused, and manual application is inconvenient; the application efficiency and quality of the coupling agent are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic probes, in particular to a device for automatically applying coupling agent. Background technique [0002] Couplant is an essential consumable in the process of ultrasound examination. Because the frequency of medical ultrasound is 2.5 to 5.0M, it cannot be transmitted in the air. If there is air between the probe and the skin, the ultrasound will return as soon as it encounters the air, and cannot enter the human body. In the body, it cannot be used for inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a layer of coupling agent on the skin to eliminate the air between the probe and the skin. At the same time, it can reduce clutter interference and improve the clarity of the image. [0003] At present, the smearing of couplant is mostly done manually, especially when the amount of couplant in the container is small, it takes time and effort to squeeze out the couplant. During the diagnosis proce...
