Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to an auxiliary device for B-ultrasound imaging examination. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound examination is a type of ultrasound examination, a non-surgical diagnostic examination. In clinical applications, ultrasound can clearly display various cross-sectional images of organs and surrounding structures. Because the images are rich in realism and closely resemble the actual anatomical structure, ultrasound examination can make an early and accurate diagnosis.

[0003] Because some probes of an ultrasound scanner are flat, but the surface of the human body is not flat, in order to better fit the surface of the human body and reduce the transmission of ultrasound waves in the air, which would cause interference with the image, a coupling agent needs to be applied to the surface of the patient's body before performing an ultrasound examination.

[0004] Currently, staff typically apply coupling gel to the patient's body surface for examination. However, this process is prone to over-application or uneven application, which can affect the probe's examination. Furthermore, excessive coupling gel can easily rub onto the patient's clothing, causing unnecessary inconvenience. Additionally, since staff need to perform ultrasound examinations on multiple patients, they spend a significant amount of time applying the coupling gel, leading to reduced examination efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an auxiliary device for B-ultrasound imaging examination, which can more evenly apply coupling agent to the surface of the human body and can absorb the coupling agent on the surface of the human body, thereby assisting manual B-ultrasound examination to be performed more quickly and improving the efficiency of B-ultrasound examination.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A B-ultrasound imaging examination auxiliary device includes a shell, a gas storage chamber, a B-ultrasound probe, a material dispensing mechanism, a scraper, and an inflation mechanism. The shell has two diversion chambers. The gas storage chamber is fixedly connected to the shell. The B-ultrasound probe is fixedly connected to the shell. The gas storage chamber is fixedly connected to the ultrasound probe. The material dispensing mechanism is located on the shell. Scrapers are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the shell. The inflation mechanism is located on the gas storage chamber.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the discharge mechanism includes a support pipe, a storage pipe, an extrusion pump, and a discharge pipe. Four support pipes are fixedly connected to the housing, with two support pipes forming a group. A storage pipe is fixedly connected between two support pipes, and each support pipe is connected to the storage pipe. An extrusion pump is fixedly connected to each of the two storage pipes, and the storage pipe is connected to the extrusion pump. Several discharge pipes are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the housing, and each discharge pipe is connected to the flow distribution chamber of the housing.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the inflation mechanism includes an inflation tube, an air bladder, an air outlet tube, a compression block, a bent tube, a sliding block, and compression springs. Inflation tubes are fixedly connected to both sides of the air storage chamber, and both inflation tubes communicate with the air storage chamber. An air bladder is fixedly connected to each of the two inflation tubes, and the inflation tubes communicate with the air bladders. Two air outlet tubes are fixedly connected to each air bladder, and each air outlet tube communicates with the air bladder and the flow distribution chamber of the shell. Compression blocks are slidably connected to the two flow distribution chambers of the shell. Bent tubes are evenly spaced on each of the two compression blocks, passing through the discharge tube. A sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each bent tube, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge tube. Several compression springs are connected to each compression block and the shell support.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, a suction mechanism is also included. Each of the two scrapers is equipped with a suction mechanism, which includes a waste bin, a suction pump, and a suction pipe. A waste bin is fixedly connected to the lower part of each of the two scrapers. Two suction pumps are fixedly connected to each of the two waste bins, and both waste bins are connected to the suction pumps. A suction pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two waste bins, and the suction pipe is connected to the waste bin.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, a smoothing mechanism is also included. Both scrapers are provided with a smoothing mechanism, which includes a fixed block and a sliding strip. The lower part of both scrapers is fixedly connected to a fixed block, and each fixed block is slidably connected with several sliding strips.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes discharge balls, with a number of discharge balls evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the shell, and the discharge balls are connected to the discharge pipe.

[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, the discharge ball is provided with several discharge holes.

[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, it also includes a support block. Several support blocks are evenly spaced at the bottom of the left and right sides of the shell, and the discharge ball is located inside the support block.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. After the staff places the ultrasound probe on the patient's skin, they turn on the extrusion pump, allowing the coupling agent in the storage tube to flow evenly into the outlet tube. Then, the staff moves the ultrasound probe and squeezes one side of the air bladder. The gas in the air bladder pushes the extrusion block downwards at an angle, preventing the sliding block from blocking the outlet tube. The coupling agent in the outlet tube then flows onto the patient's skin. The moving scraper first scrapes the coupling agent on the patient's skin, spreading it evenly. Then, the moving ultrasound probe comes into contact with the coupling agent on the patient's skin, thus performing a rapid ultrasound examination.

[0016] 2. If too much coupling agent is applied to the patient's skin, staff can turn on the suction pump. The suction pump will suck the excess coupling agent from the patient's skin into the waste bin, thus quickly removing the excess coupling agent and preventing it from affecting the ultrasound probe's detection. When the patient's ultrasound examination is finished, staff can also turn on the suction pump to suck the coupling agent from the patient's skin into the waste bin, thus cleaning the coupling agent from the patient's skin and preventing it from getting on the patient's clothes.

[0017] 3. The movement of the scraper will cause the fixed block to move, which in turn will cause several sliding strips to move, further spreading the coupling agent. At the same time, several sliding strips will conform to the patient's skin surface, which can spread the coupling agent more evenly on the patient's skin surface and more effectively reduce the air between the patient's skin and the ultrasound probe, so that the ultrasound probe can more fully perform the ultrasound examination on the patient.

[0018] 4. This invention can quickly apply coupling agent to patients during B-ultrasound examinations and can absorb excess coupling agent from the patient's skin surface. Compared with manual application of coupling agent, this invention is more time-saving and labor-saving, and is simple to operate. It can assist staff in performing B-ultrasound examinations on patients more quickly, improve the efficiency of B-ultrasound examinations, and is suitable for places with high traffic such as B-ultrasound examination rooms.

[0033] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, welding, and bonding that are mature in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] An auxiliary device for ultrasound imaging examination, such as Figures 1-13As shown, it includes a shell 1, a gas storage chamber 2, an ultrasound probe 3, a discharge mechanism, a scraper 5, and an inflation mechanism. The shell 1 has two diversion chambers. The gas storage chamber 2 is bolted to the shell 1. The ultrasound probe 3 is bolted to the shell 1. The gas storage chamber 2 and the ultrasound probe 3 are fixedly connected. The discharge mechanism is located on the shell 1. Scrapers 5 are bolted to both sides of the inner wall of the shell 1. The inflation mechanism is located on the gas storage chamber 2.

[0036] The discharge mechanism includes a support pipe 41, a storage pipe 42, an extrusion pump 43, and a discharge pipe 44. Four support pipes 41 are fixedly connected to the housing 1. Two support pipes 41 form a group, and a storage pipe 42 is fixedly connected between two support pipes 41. Each support pipe 41 is connected to the storage pipe 42. The storage pipe 42 is used to store coupling agent. An extrusion pump 43 is fixedly connected to each of the two storage pipes 42, and the storage pipe 42 is connected to the extrusion pump 43. Several discharge pipes 44 are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the housing 1. Each discharge pipe 44 is connected to the diversion cavity of the housing 1.

[0037] The inflation mechanism includes an inflation tube 61, an air bladder 62, an air outlet tube 63, a compression block 64, a bend 65, a sliding block 66, and a compression spring 67. Inflation tubes 61 are fixedly connected to both sides of the air storage chamber 2, and both inflation tubes 61 are connected to the air storage chamber 2. An air bladder 62 is fixedly connected to each of the two inflation tubes 61, and the inflation tubes 61 are connected to the air bladder 62. Two air outlet tubes 63 are fixedly connected to each air bladder 62, and each air outlet tube 63 is connected to the air bladder 64. 2. The air outlet pipe 63 is connected to the flow distribution chamber of the housing 1. Each of the two flow distribution chambers of the housing 1 is slidably connected to an extrusion block 64. The two extrusion blocks 64 are evenly spaced with bends 65. The bends 65 pass through the discharge pipe 44. The bottom end of each bend 65 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 66. The sliding block 66 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 44. Each extrusion block 64 and the housing 1 support are connected to several extrusion springs 67 by hooks.

[0038] Initially, both storage tubes 42 contain coupling agent, while the gas storage chamber 2 and the air bladder 62 contain gas. In actual operation, the operator first connects the ultrasound probe 3 to the external instrument, then holds the gas storage chamber 2 and places the ultrasound probe 3 on the patient's skin. Next, the two extrusion pumps 43 are turned on, which extrudes the coupling agent in the storage tubes 42 through the support tube 41 into the distribution chamber of the housing 1, and then flows evenly into the discharge tube 44. At this time, the sliding block 66 is blocked. The discharge pipe 44 is blocked. If the operator needs to move the ultrasound probe 3 to the left, the left airbag 62 is squeezed; if the operator needs to move the ultrasound probe 3 to the right, the right airbag 62 is squeezed. The gas in the airbag 62 flows through the air outlet pipe 63 into the diversion chamber of the housing 1. The air in the diversion chamber of the housing 1 pushes the squeezing block 64 to move diagonally downward, compressing the squeezing spring 67. The diagonal downward movement of the squeezing block 64 will drive several curved pipes 65 to move diagonally downward. This will cause the sliding block 66 to move downwards at an angle. The downward movement of the sliding block 66 will no longer block the discharge pipe 44, and the coupling agent in the discharge pipe 44 will flow onto the patient's skin surface. Then, the staff moves the air storage chamber 2. The movement of the air storage chamber 2 will cause the housing 1, the ultrasound probe 3, and the scraper 5 to move together. The movement of the scraper 5 will first scrape the coupling agent on the patient's skin surface, spreading the coupling agent evenly. Then, the movement of the ultrasound probe 3 will contact the coupling agent on the patient's skin surface to perform an ultrasound examination. When the staff releases the airbag 62, the compression spring 67 will reset, causing the compression block 64 to reset upwards at an angle. The upward reset of the compression block 64 will cause several bends 65 and the sliding block 66 to reset upwards at an angle. The upward reset of the sliding block 66 will block the discharge pipe 44 again. At the same time, the air in the diversion chamber of the housing 1 will flow back into the airbag 62. When the patient's ultrasound examination is over, the staff turns off the squeezing pump 43, and then the staff or the patient wipes off the coupling agent on the skin surface.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, it also includes a suction mechanism. Both scrapers 5 are equipped with a suction mechanism, which includes a waste bin 71, a suction pump 72, and a suction pipe 73. The lower part of both scrapers 5 is connected to the waste bin 71 by bolts. Two suction pumps 72 are fixedly connected to each of the two waste bins 71, and both waste bins 71 are connected to the suction pumps 72. The bottom of both waste bins 71 is fixedly connected to the suction pipe 73, and the suction pipe 73 is connected to the waste bin 71.

[0041] When the coupling agent from the discharge tube 44 flows onto the patient's skin, it comes into contact with the suction tube 73. If too much coupling agent is applied to the patient's skin, the staff can turn on the suction pump 72. The suction pump 72 will suck the excess coupling agent from the patient's skin into the waste bin 71 through the suction tube 73. This can quickly remove excess coupling agent from the patient's skin and prevent excessive application of coupling agent from affecting the detection of the ultrasound probe 3. When the patient's ultrasound examination is over, the staff can also turn on the suction pump 72 to suck the coupling agent from the patient's skin into the waste bin 71, thereby cleaning the coupling agent from the patient's skin and preventing excessive coupling agent from getting on the patient's clothes.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] Based on Example 2, such as Figures 2-11 As shown, it also includes a smoothing mechanism. Both scrapers 5 are provided with a smoothing mechanism. The smoothing mechanism includes a fixing block 81 and a sliding strip 82. The lower part of both scrapers 5 is connected to the fixing block 81 by bolts. Each fixing block 81 is slidably connected with several sliding strips 82.

[0044] When the scraper 5 moves, it will drive the fixed block 81 to move. The movement of the fixed block 81 will drive several sliding strips 82 to move. The movement of several sliding strips 82 can further spread the coupling agent. At the same time, several sliding strips 82 will fit against the patient's skin surface, so that the coupling agent can be applied more evenly to the patient's skin surface, and the air between the patient's skin and the ultrasound probe 3 can be reduced more effectively, allowing the ultrasound probe 3 to perform a more thorough ultrasound examination on the patient.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] Based on Example 3, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, it also includes discharge balls 9. Several discharge balls 9 are evenly spaced on the left and right sides of the shell 1, and the discharge balls 9 are connected to the discharge pipe 44.

[0047] The discharge ball 9 has several discharge holes.

[0048] When the coupling agent flows into the discharge tube 44, it will flow out from several discharge holes of the discharge ball 9, which allows the coupling agent to flow more evenly and dispersedly onto the patient's skin surface.

[0049] Example 5

[0050] Based on Example 4, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, it also includes a support block 10. Several support blocks 10 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the left and right sides of the shell 1, and the discharge ball 9 is located inside the support block 10.

[0051] When the coupling agent flows out from several outlet holes of the discharge ball 9, the expansion block 10 guides the coupling agent, allowing it to be more dispersed on the patient's skin surface.
