[0048] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0049] The ultrasound device of the present application belongs to the field of medical device technology. Normally, the height adjustment of the display needs to be achieved by adjusting the height of the trolley through the operating handle at the lower end of the display. Since the display cannot be adjusted directly and independently, it can only be adjusted indirectly through the operating handle. When the ultrasound device is moved from one place to another, the display is easy to block the line of sight in portrait mode, and the height of the trolley needs to be lowered by lowering the height of the display through the operating handle, which is very inconvenient to operate.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 25 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides an ultrasound device, comprising a support device 100, an adjustment device 400 and a touch device 200, wherein the adjustment device 400 comprises a lifting mechanism 401, and the touch device 200 has a touch screen 201, which is parallel to the support device 100 and is used to display ultrasound images and receive input of touch commands. The lifting mechanism 401 comprises a mounting member 10 and a sliding member 20 that can slide up and down relative to the mounting member 10, the mounting member 10 is arranged on the support device 100 or the control device 300, and the control device 300 can be arranged on the support device 100, and the touch device 200 is connected to the mounting member 10 via the sliding member 20, and is used to adjust the height of the touch screen 201 relative to the support device 100 in the vertical direction.

[0051] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic device further includes a balancing component 30, which is disposed at at least one position among the mounting member 10, the sliding member 20, the touch device 200, and the support device 100. The balancing component 30 is configured to balance the gravity of the touch device 200 so that the touch device 200 can be in a balanced state relative to the support device 100.

[0052] Exemplarily, the balancing component 30 can be set on one of the mounting member 10, the sliding member 20, the touch device 200 and the support device 100. When the touch device 200 slides relative to the mounting member 10 through the sliding member 20, the touch device 200 compresses or releases the balancing component 30, so that the balancing component 30 can generate a corresponding damping force for balancing the gravity of the touch device 200, thereby enabling the touch device 200 to be in a balanced state relative to the support device 100.

[0053] It should be noted that the mounting member 10 is arranged on the supporting device 100. The mounting member 10 and the supporting device 100 may be integrated or the mounting member 10 may be directly or indirectly installed on the supporting device 100. The main purpose is to enable the mounting member 10 to be connected to the supporting device 100, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0054] The mounting member 10 is set on the control device 300. The mounting member 10 and the control device 300 can be integrated, or the mounting member 10 can be directly or indirectly installed on the control device 300. The main purpose is to enable the mounting member 10 to be connected to the control device 300, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0055] The slider 20 can be set on the touch device 200, including the slider 20 and the touch device 200 being integrated, or the slider 20 being directly or indirectly installed on the touch device 200. The main purpose is to enable the slider 20 to be connected to the touch device 200, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0056] In addition, the control device 300 may include a processor, a storage device, a probe extender, etc. The processor may be a CPU, and the storage device may include RAM and ROM. The CPU, RAM, ROM, and probe extender may be connected to each other via a communication cable. In this embodiment, the control device 300 is an ultrasound host, which can be located at any position on the support device 100. For example, the ultrasound host can be located at one end of the support device 100, and the touch control device 200 can be mounted on the ultrasound host via the lifting mechanism 401; or the ultrasound host can be located at another position on the support device 100, and the touch control device 200 can be directly mounted on the support device 100 via the lifting mechanism 401. This application is not limited to this.

[0057] The support device 100 includes a rigid support structure and a flexible support structure, wherein the rigid support structure may include a column or other rigid moving mechanism, for example, a trolley assembly consisting of a column and a moving part, and the touch device 200 is installed on the column through the adjustment device 400, or the touch device 200 is installed on the control device 300 through the adjustment device 400, and the control device 300 is installed on the column, so that the operator can move the touch device 200 through the moving part; or the rigid support structure can also be a handheld handle, and the operator directly drives the touch device 200 to move through the handheld handle, which is not limited in this application.

[0058] The flexible support structure may include a robotic arm or other flexible support structure, so that the touch device 200 and the support device 100 can move together relative to the support device 100, wherein the support device 100 has an extended state. In the extended state, a user located on the same side of the bed as the ultrasound device or on the other side opposite to the bed can touch the touch device 200, and this application is not limited to this.

[0059] After adopting the above technical solution, since the touch device 200 is connected to the support device 100 through the adjustment device 400; or the touch device 200 is connected to the control device 300 through the adjustment device 400, and the control device 300 is installed on the support device 100; wherein, the adjustment device 400 includes a lifting mechanism 401, which is convenient for adjusting the height of the touch display screen 201. At the same time, a balancing component 30 is provided on the lifting mechanism 401, so that the balancing component 30 can generate a corresponding damping force for balancing the gravity of the touch device 200, so that the touch device 200 can be in a balanced state relative to the support device 100, avoiding problems such as the touch device 200 slipping during the height adjustment process, enhancing the user's adjustment experience during the adjustment process of the touch device 200, and making the touch device 200 more stable during height adjustment.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the support device 100 includes a column 102 and a trolley 101, and the column 102 is connected to the trolley 101 to form a trolley, wherein the column 102 and the trolley 101 can be an integrated setting or a detachable setting, which is not specifically limited here. In addition, casters can be provided under the base to form a mobile trolley, etc. Of course, in some implementations, the support device 100 includes a column 102, and the column 102 can be directly fixed on the ground or on a wall, or casters can be provided under the column, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0061] Among them, the height of the column 102 can be fixed, and the height of the column 102 can also support lifting and adjustment; the touch device 200 can be installed on the column 102 through the adjustment device 400, or the touch device 200 can also be installed on the column 102 through the control device 300, that is, the control device 300 can be set at the lower end of the column 102, the control device 300 can also be set at the upper end of the column 102, and even the control device 300 can be set at other positions of the column 102, such as the middle position of the column 102, etc., and can be set according to actual needs, and this application is not limited.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment, the column trolley can be a separate column trolley, which can also be equipped with a probe extender, a mainframe box, or a battery pack. In this embodiment, the control device 300 can be an ultrasound mainframe with a probe extender, the touch device 200 is mounted on the ultrasound mainframe via a lifting mechanism 401, and the touch screen 201 is electrically connected to the ultrasound mainframe to achieve human-computer interaction.

[0063] After adopting the above technical solution, since the lifting mechanism 401 constitutes a carrier for realizing height adjustment of the touch device 200, the touch display screen 201 can be adjusted in height relative to the ultrasound host. It is not only simple in structure but also easy to operate. When the height of the touch display screen 201 needs to be adjusted, the touch display screen 201 can be adjusted to the appropriate height by directly pressing the touch display screen 201 with your hand.

[0064] Exemplarily, the balancing component 30 can achieve force balance on the touch screen display 201 at any height position of the support device 100 or the control device 300 .

[0065] For example, Figure 5 When the touch screen display 201 placed in the horizontal position is at the highest position on the support device 100 or the control device 300, the touch screen display 201 can be switched to Figure 6 The lowest position of the middle touch display screen 201. Figure 7 When the vertical display is at the highest position on the support device 100 or the control device 300, the touch screen 201 can be operated to switch to Figure 8 The lowest position of the touch screen 201. During the switching process, the balancing component 30 generates a corresponding damping force to balance the gravity of the touch device 200, so that the touch device 200 can be in a balanced state relative to the support device 100.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 8 and Figure 14 As shown, the balancing assembly 30 includes an elastic member 33, a first support arm 31 rotatably connected to the mounting member 10, and a connecting member 32 rotatably connected to the sliding member 20, wherein the first support arm 31 and the connecting member 32 are movably connected, and the two ends of the elastic member 33 respectively abut against the first support arm 31 and the connecting member 32, for generating a corresponding damping force to balance the gravity of the touch device 200, so that the touch device 200 can be in a balanced state relative to the support device 100.

[0067] It should be noted that the connecting member 32 may be composed of multiple components or a single component. When the connecting member 32 is composed of multiple components, one component can be slidably mounted on the mounting member 10 or the sliding member 20 to serve as a guide; another component is used to cooperate with the first support arm 31. The first support arm 31 can slide relative to the connecting member to compress or release the elastic member 33, thereby causing the elastic member 33 to generate a corresponding damping force to balance the weight of the touch device 200, thereby maintaining the touch device 200 in a balanced state relative to the support device 100. When the connecting member 32 is a single component, when the sliding member 20 slides relative to the mounting member 10, the first support arm 31 cooperates with the connecting member 32 to compress or release the elastic member 33, causing the elastic member 33 to generate a corresponding damping force to balance the weight of the touch device 200, thereby maintaining the touch device 200 in a balanced state relative to the support device 100.

[0068] Among them, when the height of the touch display screen is adjusted, due to the action of the balance component 30, there will be a certain damping feeling when a person lifts and presses the touch device 200, ensuring that the touch device 200 rises and falls slowly, avoiding collision and damage caused by its rapid rise and fall, thereby achieving the touch display screen can be adjusted to any height of the support device 100 or the control device 300 and automatically maintain stability, and the hand feel experience during the adjustment process is good, and the touch device 200 rises and falls smoothly and stably.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 14 As shown, the connecting member 32 includes a main support arm 321 and a secondary support arm 322, the main support arm 321 includes a first end connected to the sliding member 20 and a second end connected to the mounting member 10, wherein one end of the secondary support arm 322 is hinged between the first end and the second end, and the other end of the secondary support arm 322 can be slidably mounted on the first support arm 31, and both ends of the elastic member 33 abut against the secondary support arm 322 and the first support arm 31.

[0070] Illustratively, when the touch device drives the sliding member 20 to slide relative to the mounting member 10, the first end of the main support arm 321 moves along the lateral direction of the sliding member 20, and the second end of the main support arm 321 rotates relative to the mounting member 10. During the movement, the main support arm 321 drives the secondary support arm 322 to slide relative to the first support arm 31, so that the elastic member 33 can be compressed or released under the joint action of the secondary support arm 322 and the first support arm 31, thereby generating a reverse balancing force that balances the gravity of the touch device, thereby ensuring that the touch display screen can be slowly raised and lowered to avoid collision and damage caused by its rapid raising and lowering, so that the touch display screen can be adjusted to any height of the support device or control device and automatically maintain stability.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, a first rotating boss 3211 and a second rotating boss 3212 are provided on the main support arm 321, wherein the first rotating boss 3211 and the second rotating boss 3212 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first end of the main support arm 321, the sliding member 20 is rotatably connected to the first rotating boss 3211, one end of the auxiliary support arm 322 is rotatably connected to the second rotating boss 3212, and the other end of the auxiliary support arm 322 can be slidably mounted on the first support arm 31.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 13 and 14 As shown, a track groove 211 is provided on the sliding member 20 , and the track groove 211 is arranged along the transverse direction of the sliding member 20 , and the first rotating boss 3211 is slidably mounted on the track groove 211 .

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the sliding member 20 includes a sliding seat 21 and a sliding rail member 22 , and both sides of the sliding seat 21 are respectively installed on both sides of the mounting member 10 through the sliding rail members 22 to ensure that the sliding member 20 can slide smoothly on the mounting member 10 .

[0074] For example, Figures 3 to 16 As shown, the slide rail member 22 includes a first slide rail and a second slide rail. One side of the sliding seat 21 is connected to one side of the mounting member 10 through the first slide rail, and the other side of the sliding seat 21 is connected to the other side of the mounting member 10 through the second slide rail to ensure the smooth sliding of the sliding seat 21 relative to the mounting member 10.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, the first slide rail and the second slide rail both include an inner slide rail 221 and an outer slide rail 222, wherein the outer slide rail 222 is installed on the mounting member 10, the sliding seat 21 is connected to the inner slide rail 221, and the inner slide rail 221 and the outer slide rail 222 are cooperatively connected to make the sliding seat 21 slidable on the mounting member 10.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the sliding member 20 further includes an adapter 23, wherein two opposite sides of the mounting member 10 are bent to form a slide rail mounting portion 11, an outer slide rail 222 is fixed to the slide rail mounting portion 11, and the sliding seat 21 is connected to the inner slide rail 221 via the adapter 23, thereby reducing the machining accuracy requirements of the inner and outer slide rails 221 and 222. For example, the outer slide rail 222 is directly fixed to the slide rail mounting portion 11, the inner slide rail 221 is mounted on the outer slide rail 222, and then the relative position of the sliding seat 21 after being mounted on the adapter 23 is adjusted through the waist-shaped hole on the adapter 23 or the sliding seat 21, so that the adapter 23 can be quickly installed on the inner slide rail 221.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, a first cavity is provided on the first support arm 31, and the secondary support arm 322 is retractably installed in the first cavity. One end of the elastic member 33 abuts against the first support arm 31, and the other end of the elastic member 33 abuts against the secondary support arm 322, so that when the sliding member 20 slides relative to the mounting member 10, the secondary support arm 322 can slide in the first cavity to compress or release the elastic member 33, so that the elastic member 33 can generate a corresponding damping force for balancing the gravity of the touch device 200, so that the sliding member 20 tends to be stable during the sliding process, and can even stay at any height position and maintain self-balance.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the connecting member 32 further includes a rubber member 3221, which is movably mounted in the first cavity through the secondary support arm 322, acting as a piston so that the secondary support arm 322 can slide smoothly relative to the first support arm 31.

[0091] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 20 As shown, the lifting mechanism 401 includes at least one rod structure, one of the mounting member 10 and the sliding member 20 is hinged to one end of the rod structure, and the other of the mounting member 10 and the sliding member 20 is provided with a transverse track. The other end of the rod structure is slidably mounted on the transverse track, so that the sliding member 20 can move up and down relative to the mounting member 10 through the rod structure, which is used to adjust the height of the touch screen display 201 in the vertical direction relative to the support device 100. Exemplarily, the rod structure includes a retractable first connecting rod 70 and a second connecting rod 80, one end of the first connecting rod 70 and the second connecting rod 80 are respectively hinged to the two sides of the sliding member, and the other ends of the first connecting rod 70 and the second connecting rod 80 are slidably mounted on the transverse track of the mounting member, so that the sliding member can be raised and lowered and slid relative to the mounting member by opening and closing the first connecting rod 70 and the second connecting rod 80.

[0092] It should be noted that the sliding member 20 can be a mounting end surface of the touch device, and the mounting member 10 can be a mounting end surface of the support device or the control device. The rod structure is arranged between the two mounting end surfaces. Its main purpose is to enable the touch device to be lifted up and down relative to the support device or the control device through the rod structure. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 8 to 25 As shown, the adjustment device 400 includes a rotating mechanism 402 , and the touch device 200 is connected to the sliding member 20 via the rotating mechanism 402 , so that the touch display screen 201 can be rotated from the horizontal screen state to the vertical screen state or from the vertical screen state to the horizontal screen state via the rotating mechanism 402 .

[0094] Exemplarily, the rotating mechanism 402 includes a first fixing member 40 and a second fixing member 50 rotatably connected to the first fixing member 40. The first fixing member 40 is arranged on the touch device 200, and the second fixing member 50 is arranged on the sliding member 20, so that the touch display screen 201 can be rotated between the horizontal screen and the vertical screen through the cooperation relationship between the first fixing member 40 and the second fixing member 50.

[0095] For example, Figure 1 or Figure 2 The touch screen display 201 placed horizontally in the middle can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise to switch to Figure 3 or Figure 4 The middle touch screen display 201 is placed in a vertical position; Figure 3 or Figure 4 The vertical screen display can be switched to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The horizontal screen placement of the middle touch display screen 201 and the like.

[0096] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 18 to 25 As shown, the rotating mechanism 402 also includes a sleeve 43, wherein a rotating platform 41 is provided on the first fixing member 40, and a rotating hole 51 is provided on the second fixing member 50, and the sleeve 43 is arranged between the rotating platform 41 and the rotating hole 51, so that the first fixing member 40 can rotate more smoothly relative to the second fixing member 50.

[0097] Specifically, the shaft sleeve 43 can be supported by self-lubricating materials such as POM, nylon or tin bronze, which can play the role of support, shock absorption and wear resistance, so that the first fixing member 40 can rotate more smoothly and stably relative to the second fixing member 50, and at the same time can also improve the service life of the rotating mechanism.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, a cutout is provided in the radial direction of the sleeve 43 to form a non-enclosed opening structure, which can better cooperate with the rotating table 41 and / or the rotating hole 51 and reduce the difficulty of installing the sleeve 43.

[0099] In an optional embodiment, the center of mass of the touch control device is located on the rotation axis of the rotating platform 41 or the rotating hole 51 , thereby substantially achieving a self-balancing function of the touch control device during the rotation process.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, a shaft step is provided on the shaft sleeve 43, an anti-rotation boss is provided on the shaft step, and a clamping platform 53 is provided on the second fixing member 50. The anti-rotation boss is clamped on the clamping platform 53 to limit the rotation of the shaft sleeve 43 relative to the second fixing member 50, while avoiding direct contact between the first fixing member 40 and the second fixing member 50, reducing the wear caused by the rotation of the first fixing member 40 relative to the second fixing member 50, thereby effectively improving the service life of the rotating mechanism.

[0101] Specifically, the shaft step is bent along one end of the shaft sleeve 43, so that after the first fixing member 40 is installed in the rotating hole 51 of the second fixing member 50 through the rotating table 41, the shaft sleeve 43 can directly isolate the first fixing member 40 from contacting the inner wall of the rotating hole 51, and the shaft step can prevent the end face of the rotating hole 51 from contacting the first fixing member 40, that is, the first fixing member 40 can abut on the end face of the shaft step, and the other end face of the shaft step abuts on the end face of the rotating hole 51, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the first fixing member 40 and the second fixing member 50.

[0102] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 402 includes a friction plate 42, a damping fixing hole 531 is provided on the clamping platform 53, and an avoidance gap is provided on the sleeve 43. The friction plate 42 is fixed in the avoidance gap by a damping mounting member 421 connected to the damping fixing hole 531, so that the friction plate 42 in the avoidance gap can contact the rotating platform 41 of the first fixing member 40, wherein the cooperation between the anti-rotation boss and the clamping platform 53 can prevent the rotation of the sleeve 43, thereby avoiding the rotation of the sleeve 43 itself from affecting the friction plate 42.

[0103] In order to prevent the friction plate 42 from wearing out after repeated use, thereby reducing the damping effect on the rotating platform 41, a first elastic member is further connected between the friction plate 42 and the damping mounting member 421, so that the friction plate 42 is always in contact with the rotating platform 41 under the elastic force of the first elastic member.

[0104] Exemplarily, the damping mounting member 421 is a bolt, the damping fixing hole 531 is a through-hole structure, and the first elastic member is a spring washer. When the first fixing member 40 is rotatably connected to the second fixing member 50, the spring washer is installed on the damping fixing hole 531. The damping mounting member 421 passes through the first elastic member and is threadedly connected to the friction plate 42. Therefore, the damping of the friction plate 42 relative to the rotating table 41 can be adjusted by adjusting the elastic force of the first elastic member through the damping mounting member 421, thereby limiting the arbitrary rotation of the touch device and preventing the display from rotating when the touch device is accidentally touched.

[0105] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 402 also includes a fixed disk 52, and a first mounting groove 511 is provided on the side of the second fixing member 50 facing away from the first fixing member 40. The fixed disk 52 is installed on the first mounting groove 511, and the rotating platform 41 is connected to the fixed disk 52 after passing through the rotating hole 51. The fixed disk 52 serves to fix the first fixing member 40.

[0106] Exemplarily, the fixed disk 52 can be any fastener that cooperates with the rotating platform 41, such as a snap ring, etc. The fixed disk 52 can also be a circular disk structure, etc.

[0107] In an optional embodiment, a limiting protrusion 521 is provided on the fixed disk 52, and an annular groove 512 is provided on the outer side of the first mounting groove 511. When the rotating table 41 drives the fixed disk 52 to rotate relative to the second fixing member 50, the limiting protrusion 521 moves along the annular groove 512 to limit the rotation angle of the first fixing member 40 relative to the second fixing member 50, and also plays a positioning role.

[0108] In an optional embodiment, the rotating mechanism 402 also includes an in-place prompting device 55, a plunger mounting portion 54 is provided on the second fixing member 50, and a mating portion 44 that cooperates with the in-place prompting device 55 is provided on the first fixing member 40. One end of the in-place prompting device 55 is installed on the plunger mounting portion 54, and one end of the in-place prompting device 55 is mated and connected with the mating portion 44 to limit the rotation of the first fixing member 40 relative to the second fixing member 50, thereby reducing the rotation of the first fixing member 40 relative to the second fixing member 50 caused by improper operation.

[0109] Exemplarily, the in-position prompt device 55 can be a ball plunger, and the mating portion 44 can be two through holes or pits arranged on the first fixing member 40. When the touch display screen is placed in landscape orientation, the elastic ball head of the ball plunger enters one of the through holes or pits, and when the touch display screen is placed in portrait orientation, the elastic ball head of the ball plunger enters the other through hole or pit. This not only plays a restrictive role to prevent the touch display screen 201 from rotating relative to the control device 300 or the support device 100 when placed in landscape or portrait orientation, but also provides a clear tactile feel. For example, when the touch display screen 201 is rotated to the landscape or portrait position, the elastic ball head of the ball plunger enters the through hole or pit, forming a clear tactile feel.

[0110] It should be noted that the plunger mounting portion 54 can also be provided on the first fixing member 40 , and the matching portion 44 can be provided on the second fixing member 50 , and this application does not impose any restrictions thereto.

[0111] In an optional embodiment, the in-position prompting device 55 includes a fixing portion and an abutting portion, wherein the fixing portion and the abutting portion are elastically connected, wherein the fixing portion is fixedly mounted on the second fixing member 50, and the abutting portion cooperates with the mating portion 44 to maintain the first fixing member 40 when it is rotated to a target state, wherein the target state includes the touch screen display 201 being in either landscape or portrait mode, thereby improving the stability of the touch screen display 201 in either landscape or portrait mode. In addition, the abutting portion cooperates with the mating portion to limit the rotation of the first fixing member relative to the second fixing member.

[0112] In an optional embodiment, the matching portion 44 includes two grooves adapted to the shape of the abutting portion, wherein one groove is provided in the vertical direction of the first fixing member 40 , and the other groove is provided in the horizontal direction of the first fixing member 40 .

[0113] In an optional embodiment, a wire through hole 411 is provided in the middle of the rotating table 41, so that the cable 60 of the control device on the supporting device or the ultrasonic device can be electrically connected to the touch device 200 after passing through the wire through hole 411, thereby avoiding the cable 60 connected to the touch device being exposed to the outside of the ultrasonic device, affecting the aesthetics of the ultrasonic device.

[0114] In an optional embodiment, a wire management portion 45 is provided on the first fixing member 40. The wire management portion 45 allows the cables 60 on the supporting device or the control device to pass through the wire through hole 411 and be fixed on the wire management portion 45, thereby achieving a wire management effect.

[0115] In an optional embodiment, there are two cable management portions 45, one of which is arranged in the vertical direction of the first fixing member 40, and the other cable management portion 45 is arranged in the horizontal direction of the first fixing member 40. This not only allows the cables to be arranged reasonably, but also prevents the cable 60 from loosening and causing winding problems when the first fixing member 40 rotates relative to the second fixing member 12, and even affects the smoothness of the rotation of the first fixing member 40 relative to the second fixing member 12.
