Color ultrasound machines can be used for human or other animal bodies to examine and diagnose diseases. Among them, veterinary color ultrasound machines are high-tech instruments that can observe the cross-section of living bodies without any loss or stimulation. They have become a favorable assistant for veterinary diagnosis activities and a necessary monitoring instrument for scientific research such as live egg collection and embryo transplantation. Most of the existing veterinary color ultrasound machines are vertical instruments. Ultrasound is emitted into the animal body through a probe, and reflected echoes are generated through the interfaces of different organs in the body. The reflected echoes of different sizes are processed by the received echoes, detection and digital scanning conversion to form a standard video signal, and the cross-sectional image of the organs is displayed on the monitor.

[0003] There are various lightweight, small and portable veterinary color ultrasound machines on the market. In actual diagnosis, they are helpful for diagnosing some animals that have difficulty walking or are larger in size.

[0029] With respect to the corresponding scheme of the above-mentioned figures, the following specific embodiments are described:

[0030] First embodiment

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the body 1 and the probe 3 of the one-hand clamped veterinary color ultrasound machine are electrically connected to each other through wires, and can also be signal connected. It can be known that the probe 3 is directly used to scan the diagnosed object. In this embodiment, the probe 3 is preferably an arc scanning type, and a line scanning type and a fan scanning type can also be selected in actual operation. Among them, the frequency conversion range of the arc scanning type probe is 5.0-10.0MHz, and the scanning curvature radius is 50-65mm. The probe 3 basically has an acoustic lens, a matching layer, an electrode, a crystal and an acoustic layer built in, and the acoustic lens, matching layer, electrode, crystal and acoustic layer of the arc scanning type probe 3 are arranged at matching arc angles.

[0032] The display module 11 provided on the fuselage 1 is used to display the image scanned by the probe 3 and the processed image. The technician can distinguish the diagnosis result by observing the image. The control module 12 provided on the fuselage 1 specifically includes a computer control part and operation buttons. The technician can use the probe 3 to scan while operating the operation buttons provided on the fuselage 1 to realize the corresponding functions. Specifically, the operation buttons include a power button, a photo button, a file sending button, a reset button, an image adjustment button, etc. The side of the fuselage 1 is also provided with a power interface for connecting to an external power supply, a signal interface for connecting to a signal, and a data interface for transmitting data, etc. The four corner ends of the fuselage 1 are also provided with strap rings, which are used to connect a sling or a strap to facilitate hanging on the technician to prevent falling during use.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the handheld device 2 connected to the lower part of the body 1 includes an active mechanism 21 and a driven mechanism 22. The active mechanism 21 is provided with an active shaft 211 at one end and a telescopic chamber 212 at the other end, and the active shaft 211 is provided with a movable connection with the body 1. Specifically, the body 1 is provided with an axis groove 13 matching the active shaft 211, and the active shaft 211 is embedded and installed in the axis groove 13. A shaft rod 4 is inserted into the active shaft 211, and the active shaft 211 is fixedly connected to the two end side walls of the axis groove 13 through the shaft rod 4, so that the active shaft 211 can be stably connected to the axis groove 13 to form a movable connection relationship, so that the handheld device 2 can swing up and down in an angle range of 0 to 90 degrees with the two ends of the axis groove 13 fixed by the shaft rod 4 as the rotation fulcrum. The handheld device 2 forms a structure with an adjustable swing angle with the body 1 by setting an active shaft 211, so as to meet the needs of technicians in the field during actual operation. When the color ultrasound machine needs to be placed on a table or on the bottom surface, the angle of the body 1 can be freely adjusted. The handheld device 2 can be used as a base, or when the technician's hands need to be busy with other things, the color ultrasound machine can be quickly put down without worrying about damage or affecting the color ultrasound machine. When carrying it out, the handheld device 2 can be folded or unfolded for easy storage and carrying.

[0034] A hand-held through-hole 23 is formed between the active mechanism 21 and the driven mechanism 22. The active mechanism 21 is provided with one end of the telescopic cavity 212 movably connected to the driven mechanism 22, so that the active mechanism 21 and the driven mechanism 22 are extended or shortened, thereby adjusting the width of the hand-held through-hole 23 to meet the use of technicians with different hand shapes.

[0035] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3-4As shown, an elongated member 221 is provided at one end of the driven mechanism 22, and the elongated member 221 is embedded in the telescopic cavity 212 to form a connection relationship in which the relative position can be freely changed.

[0036] The elongated member 221 is provided with a pressing block 2211 made of an elastic material, and the elastic material used in the pressing block 2211 can be a rubber material, etc. A positive ratchet 2213 is provided on the upper portion of the pressing block 2211, and the pressing block 2211 is fixedly connected to the embedded end of the elongated member 221 and is separated from the embedded end away from the elongated member 221, and a button 2212 is provided on the embedded end of the pressing block 2211 away from the elongated member 221, and an upper clamping block 2214 is also provided at the lower portion of the embedded end of the elongated member 221. Since the embedded end of the pressing block 2211 away from the elongated member 221 is separated, a pressing cavity 2215 is formed on the separation side between the pressing block 2211 and the elongated member 221. The pressing cavity 2215 extends along the horizontal length direction of the driven mechanism 22, and ends at the end of the pressing block 2211 where the button 2212 is set. The pressing cavity 2215 is connected to the upper part of the driven mechanism 22 corresponding to the button 2212, and is used to arrange the button 2212, so that a through hole for arranging the button 2212 is formed on the upper part of the driven mechanism 22. The pressing cavity 2215 is connected to the corresponding part of the button 2212 with a spring 5. The spring 5 is provided to prevent the pressing block 2211 from causing damage to the upper part of the elongated member 221 when the pressing block 2211 is pressed down, and the spring 5 can also rebound and reset after the pressing block 2211 is pressed down. By pressing the button 2212 , the end of the pressing block 2211 connected to the button 2212 can be pressed downward, and the pressing amplitude of the pressing block 2211 is determined by the height of the pressing cavity 2215 , or the distance between the lower part of the pressing block 2211 and the upper part of the elongated member 221 .

[0037] The telescopic cavity 212 is formed by slotting from the side end surface of the active mechanism 21 to the middle. In this embodiment, it is preferred to open a rectangular groove as the telescopic cavity 212 of the active mechanism 21. Of course, it can also be set to an arc shape. A reverse ratchet 2121 is provided on the upper inner wall of the telescopic cavity 212. The reverse ratchet 2121 matches and engages with the forward ratchet 2213 provided on the pressing block 2211. The tooth height of the reverse ratchet 2121 gradually increases from the inside to the outside of the telescopic cavity 212. The tooth shape of the forward ratchet 2213 and the reverse ratchet 2121 is preferably ratchet in this embodiment. Of course, spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, curved teeth and arc teeth can also be selected. A lower clamping block 2122 is provided on the lower inner wall of the telescopic cavity 212 near the opening end.

[0038] According to the above technical solution, the specific operation of extension and shortening between the active mechanism 21 and the driven mechanism 22 is: first, it is determined that the extension piece 221 is pre-embedded in the telescopic cavity 212, and the upper clamping block 2214 is locked with the lower clamping block 2122 to prevent the extension piece 221 from sliding out of the telescopic cavity 212.

[0039] In advance, the upper clamping block 2214 and the lower clamping block 2122 are in a contacting buckle position, so the extension piece 221 is in a state of being ready to be inserted into the telescopic cavity 212. First, the extension piece 221 is slowly inserted toward the bottom end of the telescopic cavity 212, and the pressing block 2211 is pressed by the reverse ratchet 2121 provided on the upper inner wall of the telescopic cavity 212, so that the pressing block 2211 is pressed downward toward the pressing cavity 2215. As the extension piece 221 goes deeper, the forward ratchet 2213 gradually engages with the reverse ratchet 2121, until the inserted end of the extension piece 221 contacts the inner bottom end of the telescopic cavity 212.

[0040] In advance, the embedded end of the elongated member 221 is in a conflicting position with the bottom end of the telescopic cavity 212, so the elongated member 221 is in a state of being ready to be pulled out of the telescopic cavity 212. First, the button 2212 needs to be pressed continuously to press the pressing block 2211 downward toward the pressing cavity 2215, so that the positive ratchet 2213 is separated from the reverse ratchet 2121 and the elongated member 221 is slowly pulled out until the upper clamping block 2214 and the lower clamping block 2122 are in contact. In other words, when the elongated member 221 is pulled out to the desired position, the button 2212 is released, and the pressing block 2211 is acted upon by the elastic force of the spring, and the pressing block 2211 is automatically reset, and the positive ratchet 2213 and the reverse ratchet 2121 are engaged with each other to ensure a stable connection between the elongated member 221 and the telescopic cavity 212.

[0041] Specifically, technicians can adjust the relative position between the extension piece 221 and the telescopic cavity 212 according to their own needs, thereby realizing the width of the handheld perforation 23 to meet the needs of a more convenient handheld color Doppler ultrasound machine.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
