DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms “first”, “second”, etc. are merely used for distinguishing descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] For examples, see Figure 1-9 .

[0032] This embodiment provides a portable ultrasonic coupling agent heater, which can heat the ultrasonic coupling agent conveniently and quickly, and has an independent structure, a small size, and is easy to carry, so that medical staff can use it outside the hospital, providing convenience for diagnosis.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the portable ultrasonic coupling agent heater 117 includes a shell 111, a display screen 112 is arranged on the front of the shell 111, a heater 117 and a carrier 118 are arranged inside the shell 111, a take-in and put-out port 119 is arranged on the top of the shell 111, a cover plate 120 is arranged at the take-in and put-out port 119, and one side of the cover plate 120 is hinged to the shell 111; a plurality of carriers 121 are arranged at intervals on the carrier 118, and coupling agent can be placed in the carrier 121, the heater 117 is used to heat the plurality of carriers 121, and the carrier 118 is arranged in the shell 111 in a liftable manner, and the carrier 118 can be raised to the take-in and put-out port 119 by opening the cover plate 120.

[0034] The display screen 112 on the housing 111 is used to display information such as the temperature of the coupling agent. The carrier 118 provided inside the housing 111 is used to place the coupling agent. The carrier 118 has a plurality of carriers 121, and each carrier 121 can be used to place the coupling agent. The heater 117 is used to heat the plurality of carriers 121 to heat the coupling agent to a suitable temperature for convenient body detection.

[0035] The carrier 118 is movably disposed in the housing 111. When not in use, the carrier 118 is moved to a lower position, and the cover 120 is closed so that the carrier 118 and the heater 117 are protected in the housing 111. When it is needed, the cover 120 is opened and the carrier 118 is raised to a higher position, so that medical staff can take the heated coupling agent conveniently.

[0036] This ultrasonic coupling agent heater 117 is connected to an AC power supply. When the external conditions for the test can be connected to a power supply, the power supply can be connected on site to heat the coupling agent. When the external conditions cannot be connected to a power supply, the power supply can be connected in advance to heat the coupling agent, and the cover 120 is closed to keep the carrier 118 in the housing 111 in a heat preservation state. When the medical staff arrives at the medical location, the cover 120 is opened to ensure that the coupling agent still has a certain temperature.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the carrier 118 includes a carrier plate 122, and a plurality of carriers 121 are arranged on the carrier plate 122. The carrier 121 is a cylindrical structure with an open top, and the bottom of the carrier 121 is hemispherical. Two rows of carriers 121 are arranged on the carrier plate 122. The capacity of the carrier 121 is not large, and each carrier 121 can meet the needs of one or two ultrasonic tests. When the coupling agent in the carrier 121 is used up, it can be added by an assistant. This design makes the entire heater 117 small in size, easy to carry, and convenient for quickly heating the coupling agent.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Fig. 9As shown, the heater 117 includes a substrate 123, on which a plurality of heating bodies 124 are arranged, each heating body 124 corresponds to a carrier 121, and a receiving cavity is formed inside the heating body 124, in which the carrier 121 can be placed. The structure of the heater 117 is compatible with the structure of the carrier 118, so that the heater 117 can heat the plurality of carriers 121 quickly and efficiently. When heating, the carrier 121 is inserted downward into the heating body 124, and the heating body 124 heats the carrier 121 from the outside. The heating body 124 can be a structural member with an electric heating wire wound outside.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 111 includes a left side plate 114, a right side plate 115, a top plate 113 and a bottom plate 116. Two stoppers 125 are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 111, one end of one stopper 125 is connected to the left side plate 114, and the other end is connected to the top plate 113; one end of the other stopper 125 is connected to the right side plate 115, and the other end is connected to the top plate 113; the stopper 125 includes a limit rod 126 arranged vertically and a support rod 127 arranged horizontally, and a limit hole 126 is provided on the bearing plate 122. 8. The limiting rod 126 passes through the limiting hole 128, and the bottom of the carrying plate 122 is placed on the supporting rod 127; a supporting block 130 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 113, and the bottom surface of the supporting block 130 is an inclined structure. The supporting block 130 is connected to the top plate 113 through a connecting rod 131, and a spring 132 is provided outside the connecting rod 131, and the end of the spring 132 abuts against the end of the supporting block 130; one end of the supporting block 130 extends to the bottom of the access port 119; one end of the connecting rod 131 extends to the outside of the right side plate 115;

[0040] The heater 117 can be raised and lowered inside the shell 111. A screw 134 is vertically arranged inside the shell 111. The bottom of the screw 134 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 116. The bottom end of the screw 134 passes through the bottom plate 116 and is connected to a rotating wheel 135. A screw sleeve 136 is arranged on the base plate 123. The screw sleeve 136 is screwed on the screw 134. A column 137 is also arranged in the shell 111. A through hole 138 is arranged on the base plate 123. The column 137 passes through the through hole 138.

[0041] This structural design makes the ultrasonic coupling agent heater 117 more convenient to use, can flexibly cope with a variety of different external environments, and provide more convenience for medical staff.

[0042] The left side plate 114, the right side plate 115, the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 116 are respectively plates at different positions of the housing 111. The limiter 125 provided inside the housing 111 is used to limit the carrier 118 so that the carrier 118 can move up and down conveniently in the housing 111. Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the bearing plate 122 is a special-shaped structure, the end portion of which is used to connect to the limiter 125 , and the middle portion of the bearing plate 122 is used to connect to the bearing body 121 .

[0043] The support block 130 at the bottom of the top plate 113 is used to support the bearing plate 122. The support block 130 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 131, so that the support block 130 can slide in the horizontal direction. The connecting rod 131 is provided with a spring 132, and the spring 132 can exert elastic force on the support block 130. A connecting block 133 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 113, the middle part of the connecting rod 131 is connected to the connecting block 133, and the end of the connecting rod 131 extends to the outside of the right side plate 115, so that a person can pull the connecting rod 131 from the outside.

[0044] When the carrier plate 122 moves upward to the support block 130, the carrier plate 122 squeezes the support block 130 to move the support block 130 outward. When the carrier plate 122 moves above the support block 130, the end of the support block 130 can move to the bottom of the carrier plate 122 under the action of elastic force and support the carrier plate 122, so that the carrier plate 122 can be stably maintained at the position of the access port 119, making it convenient for medical staff to take the coupling agent.

[0045] The heater 117 can also be movably disposed in the housing 111 so that the heater 117 can be lifted and lowered in coordination with the carrier 118 . When the carrier 118 rises to a higher position, the heater 117 is also moved upward so that the heater 117 can continue to heat the carrier 118 .

[0046] When the external environment does not have charging conditions, the coupling agent is heated in advance, and the cover 120 is closed to keep the coupling agent warm. When the coupling agent is used, the cover 120 is opened, and the carrier 118 is moved to a higher position to take the coupling agent. At this time, the heater 117 is in a lower position.

[0047] When the external environment has charging conditions, the carrier 118 and the heater 117 are moved to a higher position so that the carrier 118 and the heater 117 are in a coordinated state, and the heater 117 continues to heat the coupling agent, so that medical staff can use the coupling agent with the appropriate temperature at any time.

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, two lifting holes 129 are provided at intervals on the carrying plate 122, and fingers can pass through the lifting holes 129. The lifting holes 129 are provided so that fingers can pass through, so as to facilitate the upward movement of the carrying plate 122.

[0049] like Figure 5As shown, a clamping strip 139 protruding toward the access port 119 is also provided at the bottom of the top plate 113, and the clamping strip 139 and the support block 130 are respectively located at the two ends of the access port 119; when the supporting plate 122 rises to the access port 119, the clamping strip 139 can be clamped on the bottom edge of the supporting plate 122, and the support block 130 can be supported on the bottom of the supporting plate 122.

[0050] The clamping strip 139 is used in conjunction with the support block 130 to support the carrier plate 122 from both ends of the carrier plate 122, so that the carrier plate 122 can be stably fixed at the position of the access port 119. When the carrier plate 122 is moved upward, the carrier plate 122 squeezes the support block 130, and finally the support block 130 can be supported on the bottom of the carrier plate 122, and in this process, the clamping strip 139 can be clamped on the end of the carrier plate 122, so that the clamping strip 139 and the support block 130 cooperate to support the carrier plate 122. When the carrier plate 122 needs to be put back into the housing 111, hold the carrier plate 122 with one hand and pull the connecting rod 131 with the other hand to separate the support block 130 from the carrier plate 122, so that the carrier plate 122 can move downward, and when moving downward, the carrier plate 122 can separate from the clamping strip 139, so that the carrier plate 122 can drop to its original position.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the heater 117 is also provided with a thermostat 140, which is used to limit the maximum temperature of the heater 117. The thermostat 140 prevents the coupling agent from being heated to too high a temperature. When the coupling agent is heated to a suitable temperature, the heating is turned off to keep the coupling agent at a suitable temperature, such as 45°C.

[0052] A heat preservation plate is provided inside the shell 111; the length of the carrier plate 122 is greater than the length of the base plate 123, and the length of the base plate 123 is less than the distance between the two stoppers 125, so that the base plate can rise to between the two stoppers 125. The heat preservation plate is provided inside the shell 111 so that the coupling agent inside the shell 111 can be kept in a heat preservation state and will not cool down quickly for a long time. The size and structural design of the carrier plate 122 and the base plate 123 enable the carrier plate 122 and the base plate 123 to smoothly complete the lifting movement in the shell 111 without interfering with each other, and enable the carrier 118 and the heater 117 to cooperate with each other at any time to heat the coupling agent.

[0053] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
