Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic probe technology, and more specifically, to an ultrasonic probe dustproof treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical ultrasound probes can convert electrical signals into ultrasound signals. Users can use these probes in conjunction with a monitor to display the patient's internal structure, facilitating diagnosis.

[0003] In existing technologies, ultrasound probes are typically placed on the surface of the device after use. However, when the ultrasound probe is left on the device surface for an extended period of time after cleaning, fine dust and impurities will gradually accumulate on the probe surface. These tiny particles are often difficult to identify with the naked eye due to their small size. If these hidden contaminants are not detected and removed in time, directly using the probe to examine the patient will inevitably affect the clarity and contrast of the ultrasound image, thereby interfering with the doctor's diagnostic judgment and increasing the risk of misdiagnosis. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the aforementioned technical problem in the prior art, when an ultrasound probe is left to stand still on the surface of a device for a long time after cleaning, fine dust and impurities will gradually accumulate on the probe surface. These tiny particles are often difficult to identify directly with the naked eye due to their small size. If these hidden contaminants are not detected and removed in time, and the probe is used directly to examine the patient, it will inevitably affect the clarity and contrast of the ultrasound image, thereby interfering with the doctor's diagnostic judgment and increasing the risk of misdiagnosis. Therefore, this utility model proposes an ultrasound probe dust prevention treatment device.

[0005] This utility model discloses an ultrasonic probe dustproof treatment device, comprising a dustproof box. Two positioning shafts are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dustproof box. Positioning claws are rotatably connected to the outer circumference of each of the two positioning shafts. Second hinge seats are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two positioning claws. Second rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the outer circumference of each of the two second hinge seats. Connecting arms are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two second rotating shafts. First rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the ends of each of the two connecting arms. First hinge seats are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two first rotating shafts. First sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the dustproof box. The ends of the two first hinge seats are slidably connected to the inner walls of the first sliding grooves. First sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two first sliding grooves. First springs are sleeved on the outer circumference of each of the two first sliding rods. The ends of the two first sliding rods pass through and are slidably connected to the first hinge seats.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the first hinge seat, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dustproof box.

[0007] Preferably, each of the two positioning claws has a pressing post on its relatively close side, and the pressing post has a cylindrical structure.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes an ultrasonic probe, wherein mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the ultrasonic probe handle, and a third rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each of the two mounting grooves, and an extrusion plate is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two third rotating shafts.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the dust box has two second sliding grooves, each with a second sliding rod fixedly connected to its inner wall, and each with a third hinge seat slidably connected to its inner wall. The ends of the two second sliding rods pass through the third hinge seats and are slidably connected to them. The outer walls of the two second sliding rods are fitted with second springs. The inner walls of the two third hinge seats are rotatably connected to support arms. The ends of the two support arms are fixedly connected to fourth rotating shafts. The outer circumferential walls of the two fourth rotating shafts are rotatably connected to fourth hinge seats. The inner wall of the dust box is slidably connected to a support plate. The top of the support plate has a support groove, and the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the two fourth hinge seats.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the third hinge seat, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dustproof box.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. After use, the ultrasonic probe is inserted into the dustproof box. At this time, the two positioning claws are squeezed and rotate around the positioning shaft. When the positioning claws rotate, they drive the second hinge to rotate. The second hinge pushes the connecting arm to move through the second rotating shaft, so that the connecting arm pushes the first hinge to slide down along the outer wall of the first slide rod and squeezes the first spring. When the ultrasonic probe is inserted into the dustproof box, the squeezing pins at the ends of the two positioning claws can squeeze the ultrasonic probe, thereby fixing the ultrasonic probe in the dustproof box. The dustproof box is designed to protect the ultrasonic probe from dust, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the ultrasonic probe when it is not used for a long time, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the probe and avoiding the impact of dust on the accuracy of the examination results.

[0013] 2. The positioning shaft, positioning claw, and connecting arm inside the dustproof box, through the elastic force of the first spring, can adaptively clamp ultrasonic probe handles of different sizes, achieving stable and flexible positioning. This design ensures the safe placement of the probe and facilitates quick access. The compression plates on both sides of the ultrasonic probe cooperate with the compression columns inside the dustproof box, allowing for quick installation and removal of the probe through simple rotation or pressing actions, thus improving work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In medical imaging examinations, if dust or impurities adhere to the surface of the ultrasound probe, the acoustic lensing efficiency of the probe will be significantly reduced, leading to image artifacts and a decreased signal-to-noise ratio, directly affecting lesion boundary identification and blood flow signal analysis. Clinical statistics show that the misdiagnosis rate caused by unclean probes is as high as 8%-12%, with a particularly significant impact on the examination of superficial organs.

[0020] Existing ultrasonic probes are usually placed on the surface of the equipment. After being left undisturbed for a long time, fine dust and impurities will gradually accumulate on the probe surface. Some use cloth dust covers to cover the ultrasonic probes. However, existing cloth dust covers have problems such as poor sealing and easy to fall off. Moreover, repeated wrapping can easily cause wear and tear on the probe cables.

[0021] This utility model discloses an ultrasonic probe dustproof treatment device. After the ultrasonic probe 13 is used, it is easy to fix the ultrasonic probe 13 in the dustproof box 1. The dustproof box 1 is designed to protect the ultrasonic probe 13 from dust, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 13 when it is not used for a long time, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the probe and avoiding the impact of dust on the accuracy of the examination results.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an ultrasonic probe dustproof treatment device includes a dustproof box 1 and an ultrasonic probe 13. The dustproof box 1 is designed with an IP54 protection rating, which can block particles with a diameter ≥1mm from entering. Two positioning shafts 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dustproof box 1. Positioning claws 11 are rotatably connected to the outer circumference of each of the two positioning shafts 10. Second hinge seats 8 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two positioning claws 11. Second rotating shafts 9 are rotatably connected to the outer circumference of each of the two second hinge seats 8. Connecting arms 7 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of each of the two second rotating shafts 9. First rotating shafts 6 are rotatably connected to the ends of each of the two connecting arms 7. The outer wall of the dust box 1 is fixedly connected with a first hinge seat 5. The inner wall of the dust box 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 2 on both sides. The ends of the two first hinge seats 5 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove 2 respectively. The inner wall of the two first sliding grooves 2 is fixedly connected with a first sliding rod 3. The outer wall of the two first sliding rods 3 is fitted with a first spring 4. The ends of the two first sliding rods 3 pass through the first hinge seat 5 and are slidably connected to it. One end of the first spring 4 is fixedly connected to the first hinge seat 5, and the other end of the first spring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dust box 1. The two positioning claws 11 are provided with a pressing column 12 on the relatively close side. The pressing column 12 is a cylindrical structure. The dustproof box 1 effectively isolates dust and impurities from the external environment, preventing dust accumulation on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 13 when it is not used for a long time, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the probe and avoiding the impact of dust on the accuracy of the examination results. The positioning shaft 10, positioning claw 11 and connecting arm 7 inside the dustproof box 1 can adaptively clamp the handle of ultrasonic probe 13 of different sizes through the elastic force of the first spring 4, achieving stable and flexible positioning. This design not only ensures the safe placement of the probe, but also facilitates quick access.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ultrasonic probe 13 has mounting slots 14 on both sides of the handle. The inner walls of the two mounting slots 14 are rotatably connected to third rotating shafts 15. The outer walls of the two third rotating shafts 15 are fixedly connected to extrusion plates 16. The extrusion plates 16 on both sides of the ultrasonic probe 13 cooperate with the extrusion columns 12 in the dustproof box 1. The probe can be quickly installed and removed by simple rotation or pressing action, which improves work efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, two second sliding grooves 17 are opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the dust box 1. A second sliding rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two second sliding grooves 17. A third hinge seat 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each of the two second sliding grooves 17. The ends of the two second sliding rods 18 pass through the third hinge seat 20 and are slidably connected to it. A second spring 19 is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two second sliding rods 18. A support arm 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each of the two third hinge seats 20. A fourth rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two support arms 21. A fourth hinge seat 22 is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of each of the two fourth rotating shafts 23. A support plate 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the dust box 1. A support groove 25 is opened at the top of the support plate 24. The bottom of the support plate 24 is fixedly connected to the two fourth hinge seats 22 respectively. One end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the third hinge seat 20, and the other end of the second spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dust box 1.

[0025] In other embodiments, an annular silicone sealing strip can be added to the opening of the dustproof box 1, and a miniature air pump and pressure sensor are fixed inside the dustproof box 1. When the ultrasonic probe 13 is inserted, the sealing strip is deformed under pressure to fill the gap, and the air pump is activated to extract air from the dustproof box 1 to form a -20Pa micro negative pressure, which doubles the barrier against external dust intrusion, making it particularly suitable for high dust environments or infectious disease areas.

[0026] In other embodiments, a UV-C LED array can be embedded in the top of the dust box 1, and a timing control module can be set up. After the ultrasonic probe 13 returns to its position, it will automatically irradiate for 15 seconds to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms on the surface and avoid the risk of cross-infection.

[0027] Working principle: The dust box 1 is fixed on the diagnostic instrument. After the ultrasonic probe 13 is used, it is inserted into the dust box 1. At this time, the two positioning claws 11 are squeezed and rotate around the positioning shaft 10. When the positioning claws 11 rotate, they drive the second hinge seat 8 to rotate. The second hinge seat 8 pushes the connecting arm 7 to move through the second rotating shaft 9, so that the connecting arm 7 pushes the first hinge seat 5 to slide down along the outer wall of the first slide rod 3 and squeezes the first spring 4. When the ultrasonic probe 13 is inserted into the dust box 1, the squeezing column 12 at the end of the two positioning claws 11 can squeeze the ultrasonic probe 13, thereby fixing the ultrasonic probe 13 in the dust box 1.

[0028] When the ultrasonic probe 13 moves, its end will abut against the groove 25 on the top of the support plate 24 and press against the support plate 24 inward. At this time, the support plate 24 drives the two fourth hinge seats 22 to move. The fourth hinge seats 22 drive the support arm 21 to move through the fourth rotating shaft 23. The support arm 21 pushes the third hinge seat 20 to slide along the outer wall of the second slide rod 18, thereby pressing against the second spring 19. When the ultrasonic probe 13 is inserted into the dust box 1, the support plate 24 presses against the ultrasonic probe 13 upward under the elastic force of the second spring 19, thereby making the ultrasonic probe 13 stably fixed inside the dust box 1.

[0029] By pressing the two extrusion plates 16, the lower ends of the extrusion plates 16 are raised outwards, and the lower ends of the two extrusion plates 16 simultaneously extrude pressure on the two extrusion columns 12. At this time, the two extrusion columns 12 rotate around the positioning shaft 10, thereby enabling the two positioning claws 11 to open. Under the elastic force of the second spring 19, the support plate 24 pushes the ultrasonic probe 13 upwards from inside the dustproof box 1.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
