Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a probe cleaning device and a remote ultrasound device. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound scanning is one of the most common routine examinations in clinical practice. Before an ultrasound examination, a coupling gel is applied to the examination site, and then the probe is used for scanning. After each ultrasound examination, any remaining coupling gel on the probe must be thoroughly cleaned. This prevents reduced ultrasound image quality and cross-infection between patients caused by an unclean probe, while also reducing the workload of doctors and improving examination efficiency.

[0003] There are three common methods for cleaning the probe. One is for doctors to manually wipe the probe repeatedly with disinfectant wipes. Manual wiping is labor-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in low ultrasound detection efficiency, and the cleanliness varies with each wipe. The other two methods are ultrasonic cleaning combined with ultraviolet lamp sterilization and spraying combined with a roller brush. Both of these methods require the ultrasound doctor to fix the probe in a designated position, which poses a risk of infection to the ultrasound doctor. In addition, the cleaning devices require a large space, have high environmental requirements, and have complex structures and high costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a probe cleaning device and a remote ultrasound device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a probe cleaning device and a remote ultrasound device that can solve the problems of high workload, susceptibility to infection, and low efficiency for ultrasound doctors.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A probe cleaning device for cleaning probes, comprising:

[0008] A cleaning box, comprising a box body and a box cover, wherein a box opening is formed at the top of the box body, the box cover is rotatably connected to the box body and is used to close the box opening, a liquid inlet is provided on the box body, and a cleaning liquid delivery assembly is connected to the liquid inlet, and the cleaning box is used to accommodate a probe;

[0009] A first triggering component is disposed on the box cover. The first triggering component can be triggered when the probe moves into the box, so as to drive the box cover to close the box opening.

[0010] The second triggering component is triggered when the lid closes the opening. The cleaning fluid delivery component is communicatively connected to the second triggering component and can be activated after the second triggering component is triggered.

[0011] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the first triggering component includes a linkage component, one end of which is connected to the inside of the box cover, and the other end of which can be pressed into the box by the probe.

[0012] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the linkage includes two connecting rods arranged at an angle and connected at their ends.

[0013] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the box cover includes two cover plates, with one cover plate rotatably connected to each of the opposite sides of the box body, and each cover plate correspondingly provided with the first trigger component.

[0014] As an optional solution for the aforementioned probe cleaning device, a limiting member is provided on the housing for each of the cover plates. The limiting member can abut against the cover plate when the cover plate opens the housing opening, thereby limiting the opening angle of the cover plate.

[0015] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, each of the cover plates has a notch at its end. When the box is closed, the notches on the two cover plates form an clearance hole to accommodate the probe.

[0016] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, each of the cover plates has an adsorption element that is mutually adsorbed and fixed at one end facing the other cover plate.

[0017] As an optional solution for the above-mentioned probe cleaning device, the second triggering component includes a trigger and a sensor. The sensor can be triggered by the trigger when the box cover closes the box opening. The sensor is communicatively connected to the cleaning fluid delivery component.

[0018] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the box cover includes two cover plates, with one cover plate rotatably connected to each of the opposite sides of the box body. One of the two cover plates is provided with the trigger element, and the other is provided with the sensor element.

[0019] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the sensor is provided on one of the box cover or the box body, and the trigger is provided on the other of the box cover or the box body.

[0020] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the sensing element is a micro switch.

[0021] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the cleaning tank further includes a cleaning component disposed within the tank. The cleaning component is activated after the second triggering component is triggered and the cleaning fluid delivery component has finished delivering the cleaning fluid.

[0022] As an alternative to the aforementioned probe cleaning device, the cleaning component is an ultrasonic cleaning component.

[0023] A remote ultrasound device includes a robotic arm, a probe, and the aforementioned probe cleaning device, wherein the probe is mounted at the end of the robotic arm.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0025] In the probe cleaning device provided by this invention, when the probe enters the chamber, a first triggering component is activated, causing the chamber lid to rotate and automatically close the opening, isolating the probe cleaning space from the outside and preventing contamination from external objects or personnel. After the chamber lid closes, a second triggering component is activated, automatically starting the cleaning chamber and beginning probe cleaning. In other words, by inserting the probe into the chamber, the automatic closing of the lid and the automatic start of the cleaning chamber can be achieved sequentially, making the probe cleaning device more intelligent, reducing manual operation, significantly lowering the workload of ultrasound physicians, improving probe cleaning efficiency, and thus improving the efficiency of ultrasound examinations.

[0026] The remote ultrasound device provided by this invention achieves automated cleaning through the cooperation of a robotic arm and the aforementioned probe cleaning device, which greatly reduces the workload of ultrasound doctors, avoids infection of ultrasound doctors, and improves the efficiency of probe cleaning, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasound examination.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0039] This embodiment provides a probe cleaning device for cleaning probe 100. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the probe cleaning device includes a cleaning tank, a first triggering component 20, and a second triggering component 30. The cleaning tank is used to house the probe 100. The cleaning tank includes a body 11 and a lid. The top of the body 11 has an opening 111 through which the probe 100 can be inserted for cleaning. The lid is rotatably connected to the body 11 and is used to close the opening. The body 11 has a liquid inlet 112 connected to a cleaning fluid delivery component. The first triggering component 20 is located on the lid and is triggered when the probe 100 moves into the body 11, causing the lid to close the opening 111. The second triggering component 30 is triggered when the lid closes the opening 111. The cleaning fluid delivery component is communicatively connected to the second triggering component 30 and is activated after the second triggering component 30 is triggered.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the probe 100 enters the housing 11, it triggers the first triggering component 20, causing the housing cover to rotate and automatically closing the opening 111. This isolates the cleaning space of the probe 100 from the outside, preventing contamination of external objects or personnel. After the housing cover closes the opening 111, the second triggering component 30 is triggered, automatically activating the cleaning fluid delivery component. The cleaning fluid delivery component injects cleaning fluid into the housing 11 through the inlet 112 to clean the probe 100. In other words, by inserting the probe 100 into the housing 11, the automatic closing of the housing cover and the automatic activation of the cleaning chamber can be achieved sequentially. This makes the probe cleaning device more intelligent, reduces manual operation, significantly reduces the workload of ultrasound doctors, improves the cleaning efficiency of the probe 100, and thus improves the efficiency of ultrasound examinations.

[0041] Optionally, the inlet 112 can be connected to different cleaning agents, such as disinfectant or cleaning water, through a pipe to clean the probe 100 and improve the cleaning effect of the probe 100.

[0042] Furthermore, multiple liquid inlets 112 can be provided, each of which can be used to introduce cleaning agent. Multiple liquid inlets 112 are arranged around the probe 100 to increase the cleaning angle of the probe 100, thereby making the cleaning more thorough.

[0043] Furthermore, the inlet 112 can also be connected to a booster pump, which can adjust the pressure of the cleaning agent entering the housing 11, so that the cleaning agent with a certain pressure comes into contact with the probe 100, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect.

[0044] The first triggering component 20 includes a linkage 21. One end of the linkage 21 is connected to the inside of the lid, and the other end can abut against the probe 100. When the probe 100 is inserted into the box 11, it pushes the linkage 21, thereby causing the lid to rotate relative to the box 11 to close the box opening 111. The automatic closing of the box opening 111 is achieved through the linkage 21. The structure is simple, and the triggering effect is stable and reliable.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the linkage 21 includes two connecting rods arranged at an angle and connected at their ends. The two connecting rods are a first connecting rod 211 and a second connecting rod 212. The first end of the first connecting rod 211 is connected to the inside of the box cover, and the second end of the first connecting rod 211 is connected to the first end of the second connecting rod 212. The second end of the second connecting rod 212 can abut against the probe 100. The second connecting rod 212 extends from the second end of the first connecting rod 211 toward the box opening 111.

[0046] After the lid rotates outwards towards the box body 11, the opening 111 is opened. At this time, the lid moves the linkage 21, causing the second end of the second linkage 212 to be at a higher height. When the probe 100 extends into the box body 11 through the opening 111, as... Figure 3 As shown, probe 100 first abuts against the second end of the second connecting rod 212. As probe 100 continues to move downward, the linkage 21 moves in accordance with... Figure 3 Rotate in the direction indicated by the middle arrow, causing the lid to move in the following direction. Figure 3 Rotate in the direction of the middle arrow to gradually close the opening 111 until it is as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the lid is fully closed at the opening 111.

[0047] To ensure the probe 100 is positioned in the center of the chamber 11 during cleaning for optimal cleaning results, the chamber cover includes two cover plates 12. The top of the chamber 11 forms an opening 111. Cover plates 12 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the chamber 11, and each cover plate 12 is rotatably connected to the top of the chamber 11. A linkage 21 is connected to the inner side of each cover plate 12. When the probe 100 extends downwards into the chamber 11, it simultaneously abuts against both linkages 21. After the probe 100 pushes the linkages 21 to close the opening 111, the probe 100 is positioned between the two cover plates 12.

[0048] To improve the airtightness of the cleaning tank, each cover plate 12 has a notch 121 at its end. When the tank opening 111 is closed, the notches 121 on the two cover plates 12 form a clearance hole to accommodate the probe 100. In some embodiments, if the probe 100 is mounted on a robotic arm 200 and is extended into the tank body 11 by the robotic arm 200, the clearance hole can accommodate the robotic arm 200. By providing the clearance hole, only the clearance area for the probe 100 or the robotic arm 200 can be reached on the tank cover, thus maximizing the closure of the tank opening 111.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cover plate 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 11 via a hinge 13. The hinge 13 includes a hinge shaft and two rotating plates. The hinge shaft rotatably connects the two rotating plates, one of which is connected to the outer side of the cover plate 12, and the other rotating plate is connected to the outer side of the housing 11. This structure is simple and easy to install.

[0050] To limit the opening angle of the cover 12, a limiting member 14 is also provided on the housing 11 for each cover 12. The limiting member 14 can abut against the cover 12 when the opening 111 of the housing is opened, thereby limiting the opening angle of the cover 12. Figure 1 As shown, the limiting member 14 includes a first plate and a second plate that are angled together and connected. The first plate is disposed on the outer wall of the housing 11, and the second plate extends from the top of the first plate outward from the housing 11. When the cover 12 opens the opening 111, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover plate 12 can abut against the second plate, which not only restricts the cover plate 12 from continuing to rotate, but also stably supports the cover plate 12, so that the cover plate 12 is maintained in this state.

[0051] Optionally, the housing 11 is provided with two limiting members 14 for each cover plate 12, and the hinge 13 connected to the cover plate 12 is located between the two limiting members 14. By providing two limiting members 14, the stability of the cover plate 12 is further improved.

[0052] If the linkage 21 remains in contact with the probe 100 during cleaning, certain areas of the probe 100 will not be effectively cleaned, affecting the final cleaning effect. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, after the cover plate 12 closes the opening 111, the second end of the second linkage 212 is located below the probe 100, and the two no longer contact each other.

[0053] It is understandable that during the process of the cover plate 12 closing the box opening 111, when the angle of rotation of the cover plate 12 is small, most of the vertical projection of the cover plate 12 falls on the outside of the box body 11. At this time, the torque exerted by the gravity of the cover plate 12 on the cover plate 12 will drive the cover plate 12 to rotate in the direction of opening the box opening 111. This torque hinders the cover plate 12 from closing the box opening 111. Therefore, the probe 100 needs to continue to push the linkage 21 to drive the cover plate 12 to close the box opening 111.

[0054] As the rotation angle of the cover plate 12 gradually increases, most of the vertical projection of the cover plate 12 falls into the box 11. At this time, the torque exerted by the gravity of the cover plate 12 on the cover plate 12 will drive the cover plate 12 to rotate in the direction of closing the box opening 111. This torque can be used as the power for the cover plate 12 to close the box opening 111. Therefore, it is no longer necessary for the probe 100 to continue to push the linkage 21 to drive the cover plate 12 to open the box opening 111. At this time, the probe 100 can stop moving into the box 11, and the cover plate 12 continues to close the box opening 111 by the action of its own gravity.

[0055] In other embodiments, the probe 100 can push the linkage 21 to completely close the box opening 111 with the cover plate 12, and then rise a certain distance to separate the probe 100 from the linkage 21.

[0056] To ensure that the cover plate 12 can stably close the box opening 111 when the probe 100 is being cleaned, each cover plate 12 is provided with an adsorption element 15 at the end facing the other cover plate 12. The adsorption elements 15 on the two cover plates 12 can attract and fix each other to keep the box opening 111 closed. Optionally, the adsorption element 15 is a magnet.

[0057] After the probe 100 is cleaned, the robotic arm 200 moves the probe 100 upward. The probe 100 or the robotic arm 200 applies a force to the cover plate 12, causing the cover plate 12 to overcome the suction force and rotate relative to the box 11, thereby opening the box opening 111 and taking out the probe 100.

[0058] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the second triggering component 30 includes a trigger element 31 and a sensing element 32. The sensing element 32 can be triggered by the trigger element 31 when the box cover is closed at the box opening 111. The sensing element 32 is communicatively connected to the cleaning fluid delivery component so that the cleaning fluid delivery component can be started after the box cover is closed at the box opening 111 to realize automatic cleaning of the probe 100.

[0059] Specifically, one of the cover plates 12 is provided with a trigger 31, and the other cover plate 12 is provided with a sensor 32. When the two cover plates 12 cooperate to close the box opening 111, the trigger 31 meets the conditions for triggering the sensor 32, causing the sensing electrical signal of the sensor 32 to change, thereby starting the cleaning box.

[0060] In this embodiment, the sensing element 32 is a micro switch. When the two cover plates 12 cooperate to close the opening 111, the trigger element 31 will abut against the actuating spring in the micro switch, causing the actuating spring to contact the fixed contact, thereby turning on the micro switch. The micro switch has a small gap between the actuating spring and the fixed contact, a short actuation stroke, low actuation force, and rapid switching, which can promptly determine the opening and closing status of the opening 111, so that the cleaning box has a fast response speed.

[0061] In other embodiments, the sensing element 32 can also be a proximity switch or a photoelectric switch. Taking a proximity switch as an example, when the two cover plates 12 cooperate to close the box opening 111, the trigger element 31 is located within the sensing range of the sensing element 32 and is thus triggered.

[0062] In some embodiments, one of the lid and the body 11 is equipped with a sensor 32 and the other with a trigger 31, so that the sensor 32 can be triggered when the lid closes the opening 111.

[0063] To achieve a cleaning effect on the probe 100, the housing 11 is also equipped with a liquid outlet 113. When the housing cover is closed at the opening 111, the cleaning solution delivery assembly is activated, and cleaning solution is added into the housing 11 through the inlet 112. Cleaning is achieved through contact between the cleaning solution and the probe 100. After cleaning, the cleaning solution in the housing 11 can be discharged through the outlet 113. In addition, the cleaning solution not only has a cleaning function but also a disinfection function, which can achieve the purpose of disinfecting the probe 100.

[0064] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor is installed inside the housing 11. The liquid level sensor is communicatively connected to the cleaning fluid delivery assembly, and can detect whether the cleaning fluid in the housing 11 has reached the preset working liquid level. When the cleaning fluid reaches the working liquid level, the liquid level sensor communicates with the cleaning fluid delivery assembly so that the cleaning fluid delivery assembly can automatically stop delivering the cleaning fluid after the working liquid level is reached.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cleaning tank may be equipped with a timer that starts after the cleaning fluid delivery component is started. After a preset time has elapsed since the cleaning fluid delivery component started, the timer communicates with the cleaning fluid delivery component to cause the cleaning fluid delivery component to automatically stop delivering the cleaning fluid.

[0066] Furthermore, the cleaning tank also includes a cleaning component, which is disposed inside the tank body 11. The cleaning component is communicatively connected to the second trigger component 30 and can be activated after the second trigger component 30 is triggered and the cleaning fluid delivery component has delivered the cleaning fluid. The cleaning component is activated after the cleaning fluid in the tank body 11 is added, and works with the cleaning fluid to clean the probe 100, resulting in a good cleaning effect.

[0067] Optionally, the cleaning component can be an ultrasonic cleaning component, which utilizes the cavitation, acceleration and direct flow effects of ultrasonic waves in the liquid to disperse, emulsify and peel off the dirt layer to achieve the cleaning purpose. The cleaning effect is good and the probe 100 is not damaged.

[0068] Optionally, the cleaning assembly may also include a roller brush, which is used to brush the surface of the probe 100 by rotating the roller brush, thereby cleaning the probe 100.

[0069] Optionally, the cleaning component can be automatically shut down via a timer, for example, automatically shutting down after five minutes of operation.

[0070] This embodiment also provides a remote ultrasound device, which includes a robotic arm 200, a probe 100, and the aforementioned probe cleaning device. The probe 100 is mounted at the end of the robotic arm 200, which is used to move the probe 100 into the probe cleaning device for cleaning, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the probe 100. This eliminates the need for the ultrasound doctor to hold the probe 100, reducing the workload of the ultrasound doctor and also preventing infection of the ultrasound doctor.

[0071] The remote ultrasound device provided in this embodiment achieves automated cleaning through the cooperation of the robotic arm 200 and the probe cleaning device. During the cleaning process, the opening and closing of the chamber 111, the start and stop of the delivery of cleaning fluid, and the start of the ultrasound module can all be automated, which greatly reduces the workload of ultrasound doctors and avoids infection of ultrasound doctors. At the same time, it improves the efficiency of probe 100 cleaning, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasound examination.

[0072] Furthermore, the remote ultrasound equipment also includes an ultrasound detection terminal, a relay server, and a remote platform. The ultrasound detection terminal includes a robotic arm 200 and a probe 100. The ultrasound detection terminal establishes a connection with the remote platform through the relay server. The remote platform is used to display ultrasound image data so that remote doctors can make diagnoses based on the ultrasound image data.

[0073] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
