Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe support technology, and in particular to a probe support device for an ultrasonic testing instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound testing technology has important applications in medical diagnostics, especially in hospitals. One of its core components, the probe holder, directly impacts testing efficiency. In routine hospital examinations, ultrasound testing is widely used in various departments such as internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and cardiology. The stability and ease of placement of the probe directly affect the efficiency of the doctor's operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, probe holders used in hospitals typically employ a fixed structure. For example, some probe holders achieve limited angle adjustment of the probe via a single rotating axis, but this design can only meet adjustment needs in a single direction and cannot adapt to multi-dimensional testing scenarios. Furthermore, some testing instruments have openings directly cut into the platform, requiring personnel to adjust the position and align the probe within the opening before insertion, thus impacting operational efficiency.

[0004] However, existing probe holder devices generally suffer from insufficient adjustment flexibility, failing to simultaneously meet the needs of multi-angle adjustment in both the lateral and longitudinal directions. This results in inconvenient probe placement and adjustment in complex testing environments, impacting testing efficiency. This limitation is particularly pronounced in the fast-paced testing environments of hospitals. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a probe support device for an ultrasonic testing instrument, so as to solve the technical problem of insufficient adjustment flexibility of the probe support device in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0007] An ultrasonic testing instrument probe support device includes a body, a probe, a fixing mechanism, a multi-stage rotating mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The probe is connected to the body via a cable and placed within the clamping mechanism. The multi-stage rotating mechanism includes a primary rotating mechanism and a secondary rotating mechanism. The primary rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to rotate laterally, and the secondary rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to rotate longitudinally. The primary rotating mechanism is mounted on the fixing mechanism, and the secondary rotating mechanism is mounted on the primary rotating mechanism. The fixing mechanism secures the multi-stage rotating mechanism to the body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the probe can be adjusted at multiple angles in both the horizontal and vertical directions, which improves the flexibility and convenience of probe placement and meets the needs of the fast-paced testing environment in hospitals.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a U-shaped component inserted into the machine body, a first screw threaded onto the U-shaped component, and a support platform fixedly mounted on the first screw thread and abutting against the bottom of the machine body, wherein the U-shaped component and the support platform are clamped onto the machine body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing mechanism can be quickly installed and disassembled, improving the ease of use of the probe bracket device.

[0011] Furthermore, the primary rotating mechanism includes a truncated cone rotatably mounted on a fixed mechanism, a vertical plate fixedly mounted on the truncated cone, and a second screw locking the truncated cone.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure of the first-stage rotating mechanism has been further optimized, improving the flexibility of rotation and the stability of locking.

[0015] Furthermore, the secondary rotating mechanism includes a swinging component rotatably mounted on the upright plate, a third screw inserted into the upright plate, and an arc-shaped groove formed on the swinging component. The third screw passes through the arc-shaped groove and is screwed with a knob. The knob and the third screw fix the swinging component to the upright plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the secondary rotation mechanism can realize the longitudinal rotation of the clamping mechanism, further improving the adjustment flexibility of the probe.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a base fixedly mounted on the swing member, a clamping rod rotatably mounted on the top of the base, a traction rod that drives the clamping rod to rotate, and a base plate rotatably mounted on the traction rod, with a spring provided between the base plate and the base.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping mechanism can stably clamp the probe, improving the stability of the probe during the detection process.

[0019] Furthermore, the base is fixedly mounted on the swing member, and the base, bottom plate and swing member are respectively provided with guide grooves for placing cables.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, bending and damage to the cables are avoided, and the service life of the probe bracket device is improved.

[0021] Furthermore, an opening is provided on one side of the base, and two clamping rods and two traction rods are respectively provided, with the two traction rods rotatably connected to the base plate.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] This embodiment relates to a probe 2 support device for an ultrasonic detector. In terms of overall structure, as follows... Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a body 1, a probe 2, a fixing mechanism 3, a multi-stage rotating device, and a clamping mechanism 6.

[0044] The probe 2 is connected to the machine body 1 via a cable. The probe 2 is placed inside the clamping mechanism 6. The clamping mechanism 6 adjusts its position according to the multi-stage rotating device. The multi-stage rotating device includes a first-stage rotating mechanism 4 that drives the clamping mechanism 6 to rotate laterally and a second-stage rotating mechanism 5 that drives the clamping mechanism 6 to rotate longitudinally. The first-stage rotating mechanism 4 is mounted on the fixing mechanism 3, and the second-stage rotating mechanism 5 is mounted on the first-stage rotating mechanism 4. The fixing mechanism 3 fixes the multi-stage rotating device on the machine body 1.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the purpose of setting up a multi-stage rotation device is to ensure that the clamping mechanism 6 can be adjusted to different positions so that personnel can place the probe 2 in different directions. The body 1 and the probe 2 are common ultrasonic testing equipment in the prior art. The fixing mechanism 3 can be clamped on the platform 304 of the body 1, which facilitates the removal and installation of the bracket from the body 1. The multi-stage rotation device can drive the clamping mechanism 6 to rotate horizontally and vertically. This setting can ensure that the clamping mechanism 6 is fixed in different directions, making it convenient for personnel to put the probe 2 into the clamping mechanism 6, improving convenience. The clamping mechanism 6 can hold the placed probe 2, improve the stability of the probe 2, and prevent the probe 2 from falling off the body 1. The first-stage rotation mechanism 4 is a horizontal rotation, which ensures that the clamping mechanism 6 can be fixed horizontally in any position. The second-stage rotation mechanism 5 is a vertical rotation, which ensures that the clamping mechanism 6 can be rotated vertically to any angle. This multi-stage rotation position adjustment is achieved.

[0046] Based on the above overall introduction, this embodiment presents an exemplary structure of the probe 2 support device of the ultrasonic detector, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped piece 301 inserted into the body 1, a first screw 302 screwed onto the U-shaped piece 301, and a support 303 fixedly mounted on the first screw 302 and abutting against the bottom of the body 1. The U-shaped piece 301 and the support 303 are clamped onto the body 1. It should be noted that the opening 607 of the U-shaped piece 301 is inserted into the platform 304 of the body 1, one side wall of the U-shaped piece 301 is in contact with the top surface of the body 1, and the first screw 302 is fixed to the other side wall of the U-shaped piece 301. By rotating the first screw 302, the support 303 is pushed to contact the bottom surface of the body 1. The first screw 302 ensures that the support 303 is always in contact with the body 1. This arrangement ensures that the fixing mechanism 3 is clamped onto the body 1, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0047] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 4As shown, the primary rotating mechanism 4 of this embodiment includes a frustum 401 rotatably mounted on the fixed mechanism 3, a vertical plate 402 fixedly mounted on the frustum 401 to support the secondary rotating mechanism 5, and a second screw 403 that locks the frustum 401. A cover 404 for the second screw 403 to pass through is installed on the fixed mechanism 3, and the cover 404 covers the outside of the frustum 401.

[0048] It should be noted that a platform 304 is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped part 301, and a frustum 401 is rotatably connected to the platform 304. When the frustum 401 rotates, it can drive the vertical plate 402 to rotate, thereby driving the secondary rotating mechanism 5 to rotate. The cover 404 is fixedly installed on the platform 304. A nut 405 is screwed onto the second screw 403. The second screw 403 has a groove 406 with the same arc-shaped surface as the frustum 401. By rotating the nut 405, the second screw 403 is moved, and the groove 406 is connected to the frustum 401. The curved surfaces of the two screws abut against each other, thereby increasing the friction between the second screw 403 and the frustum 401 and ensuring that the frustum 401 has a certain friction when rotating. The horizontal plate extends outward along one of the side walls of the U-shaped part 301 to ensure that the frustum 401 can rotate. A through hole 407 is opened on the side of the cover 404. The second screw 403 is inserted into the through hole 407 and can move within the through hole 407. The side of the frustum 401 protrudes from the through hole 407. This arrangement ensures that the groove 406 can contact the curved surface of the frustum 401.

[0049] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the secondary rotation mechanism 5 of this embodiment includes a swing member 501 rotatably mounted on the upright plate 402, a third screw 502 inserted on the upright plate 402, and an arc-shaped groove 503 opened on the swing member 501. The third screw 502 passes through the arc-shaped groove 503 and is screwed with a knob 504. The clamping mechanism 6 is mounted on the swing member 501. It should be noted that the swing member 501 consists of two vertical plates and one horizontal plate. The arc-shaped groove 503 is formed on the two vertical plates, and the horizontal plate is located at the top of the two vertical plates. The rotating connection between the swing member 501 and the vertical plates is arranged perpendicularly to the third screw 502. The vertical plate 402 has a hole through which the third screw 502 can pass. The third screw 502 can slide in the hole. The arc-shaped groove 503 moves along the third screw 502. At the same time, the swing member 501 rotates on the vertical plate 402. This arrangement ensures that the clamping mechanism 6 can swing up and down with the swing member 501. The knob 504 is tightened on the third screw 502, which can clamp the two vertical plates of the swing member 501 on the vertical plate 402, which can increase the friction. When the swing member 501 swings to any position, the friction can keep the swing member 501 at that position.

[0050] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 6As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a base 601 fixedly mounted on the swing member 501, a clamping rod 602 rotatably mounted on the top of the base 601 for clamping the probe 2, a traction rod 603 driving the clamping rod 602 to rotate, and a base plate 604 rotatably mounted on the traction rod 603 for placing the probe 2. A spring 605 is provided between the base plate 604 and the base 601. It should be noted that the base 601 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal plate of the swing member 501. When the probe 2 is located outside the base 601, the spring 605 supports the base plate 604, and the base plate 604 pushes the traction rod 603 upward. The traction rod 603 drives the clamping rod 602 to rotate outward. Two clamping rods 602 and two traction rods 603 are respectively provided, and the two traction rods 603 are rotatably connected to the base plate 604. Guide grooves 606 for placing cables are respectively opened at the bottom of the base plate 604 and the base 601 to avoid... With the cable bent, an opening 607 is made on one side of the base 601. The probe 2 can be placed downward from the top of the base 601 or inward from one side of the opening 607. The bottom of the probe 2 presses down on the base plate 604, and the spring 605 is compressed. The base plate 604 drives the two traction rods 603 to move downward. The two traction rods 603 drive the two clamping rods 602 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the probe 2. This arrangement ensures the stability of the probe 2 in the base 601 and facilitates the placement of the probe 2 into the base 601.

[0051] In this embodiment, the probe 2 support device of the ultrasonic detector, through the setting of a multi-stage rotation device, realizes multi-angle adjustment of the probe 2 in both the horizontal and vertical directions, significantly improving the flexibility and convenience of probe 2 placement and adapting to the needs of the fast-paced testing environment in hospitals; by optimizing the structure of the fixing mechanism 3, the probe 2 support device can be quickly installed and disassembled, improving ease of use; by setting a first-stage rotation mechanism 4 and a second-stage rotation mechanism 5, the adjustment function of the probe 2 is further optimized, improving testing efficiency; by optimizing the structure of the clamping mechanism 6, the stability and clamping efficiency of the probe 2 are improved, and shaking of the probe 2 during the testing process is avoided.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
