Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasonic control technology, and more specifically, to a control method for an ultrasonic probe. Furthermore, this invention also relates to a control device, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for an ultrasonic probe. Background Technology

[0002] After performing a color Doppler ultrasound examination on the human body, ultrasound coupling agent will remain on the surface of the ultrasound probe. In addition, the ultrasound probe will also get dirty during contact with the patient's skin. Therefore, the ultrasound probe needs to be cleaned after each use before the next patient can be examined.

[0003] Currently, doctors manually clean ultrasound probes, which on the one hand causes a lot of repetitive work for them, is time-consuming and laborious, and affects the efficiency of ultrasound examinations; on the other hand, it is difficult to control the degree of manual cleaning, and residual ultrasound coupling agent and residual stains can affect the imaging effect of ultrasound equipment, resulting in a decrease in the image quality of ultrasound equipment.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve automatic cleaning of ultrasonic probes and ensure cleaning quality is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method for an ultrasonic probe that can achieve automatic cleaning of the ultrasonic probe and ensure cleaning quality.

[0022] Based on the second control command, the second driving component is controlled to drive the wiping component to move from the first position to the second position. The first position is the position where the wiping component is not in use, and the second position is the starting and ending position of the reciprocating motion of the wiping component.

[0023] Optionally, controlling the second driving member to move the wiping member from the first position to the second position based on the second control command includes:

[0024] Determine whether the rotation angle of the second driving component has reached the preset value;

[0025] If not, the second driving element is controlled to continue driving the wiping element to move.

[0026] Optionally, it also includes:

[0027] When the number of times the wiping member reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe reaches the number of wiping cycles, a third control command is sent to the second drive member so that the second drive member drives the wiping member to move from the second position to the first position based on the third control command.

[0028] Optionally, the ultrasonic probe is provided with a storage slot, a cover, and a first elastic member connecting the storage slot and the cover. The storage slot is correspondingly provided with the first position and is used to accommodate the wiping member. The wiping member can move in a direction perpendicular to the storage slot to enter or leave the storage slot. The cover is movably connected to the storage slot. An electromagnet is provided in the storage slot, and the cover is a magnetic suction member.

[0029] The control method for the ultrasonic probe also includes:

[0030] When the wiping member is in the first position, the electromagnet is energized to attract the hatch cover; wherein, when the electromagnet attracts the hatch cover, the hatch cover closes the storage slot, and the first elastic member is compressed;

[0031] Before controlling the second driving member to move the wiping member from the first position to the second position based on the second control command, the method further includes:

[0044] A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above-described ultrasonic probe control methods.

[0045] The ultrasonic probe control method provided by the present invention, during operation, the controller receives a first control command generated by the ultrasonic host based on configuration information, and controls the first driving component to move based on the first control command, so that the first driving component drives the wiping component to move. Since the configuration information includes the number of wiping times, when the first driving component moves, it can drive the wiping component to reciprocate along the surface of the ultrasonic probe for that number of wiping times.

[0046] It can be seen that the control method of this ultrasound probe can realize automatic cleaning of the ultrasound probe, avoiding manual cleaning by doctors, reducing repetitive work, reducing labor intensity, and improving the efficiency of ultrasound examination.

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] The core of this invention is to provide a control method for an ultrasonic probe, which enables automatic cleaning of the ultrasonic probe and ensures cleaning quality. Another core aspect of this invention is to provide a control device, equipment, and computer-readable storage medium for an ultrasonic probe, corresponding respectively to the aforementioned control method for the ultrasonic probe, to achieve automatic cleaning of the ultrasonic probe and ensure cleaning quality.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , 2 According to embodiment 7 of the present invention, a control method for an ultrasonic probe is provided, which is applied to a controller 10 in an ultrasonic probe 1. The ultrasonic probe 1 is connected to an ultrasonic host 70 through the controller 10. The ultrasonic probe 1 is provided with a wiping element 2 and a first driving element 20. The wiping element 2 is movably disposed in the ultrasonic probe 1, and the first driving element 20 is connected to the wiping element 2. The control method for the ultrasonic probe includes steps S101 to S102:

[0069] S101: Obtain the first control command sent by the ultrasound host 70; wherein, the ultrasound host 70 generates the first control command based on configuration information, the configuration information including the number of wipes.

[0070] In this step, the controller 10 obtains the first control command generated by the ultrasound host 70 based on the configuration information. Based on the first control command, the controller can obtain the configuration information, including the number of wipes.

[0071] Optionally, the ultrasound host 70 can obtain configuration information based on user interaction, such as obtaining the number of wiping cycles input by the user through the interactive interface.

[0072] S102: Based on the first control command, control the first driving component 20 to drive the wiping component 2 to move, so that the wiping component 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 for the number of wiping cycles.

[0073] In this step, the controller 10 can send a control command corresponding to the aforementioned configuration information to the first drive unit 20 based on the first control command, so that the first drive unit 20 drives the wiping member 2 to reciprocate along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 based on the control command.

[0074] It should be noted that the ultrasonic probe 1 in this embodiment of the invention is provided with a wiping member 2 and a first driving member 20. The wiping member 2 and the first driving member 20 form an automatic cleaning device, that is, the ultrasonic probe 1 is equipped with an automatic cleaning device. The control method of the ultrasonic probe provided in this embodiment of the invention is mainly a control method of the automatic cleaning device, so as to realize the automatic cleaning of the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0075] Specifically, during operation, the controller 10 receives a first control command generated by the ultrasound host 70 based on the configuration information, and controls the first drive member 20 to move based on the first control command, so that the first drive member 20 drives the wiping member 2 to move. Since the configuration information includes the number of wiping times, when the first drive member 20 moves, it can drive the wiping member 2 to reciprocate along the surface of the ultrasound probe 1 for that number of wiping times.

[0076] Therefore, it can be seen that the control method for the ultrasound probe provided in this embodiment of the invention can achieve automatic cleaning of the ultrasound probe 1, avoiding manual cleaning of the ultrasound probe 1 by doctors, reducing repetitive work for doctors, reducing the intensity of manual labor, and improving the efficiency of ultrasound examination. In addition, by driving the wiping member 2 to reciprocate along the surface of the ultrasound probe 1 a certain number of times through the first driving member 20, the cleanliness of the ultrasound probe 1 can be ensured, the cleaning quality can be improved, and the residual ultrasound coupling agent and residual stains on the ultrasound probe 1 can be avoided from affecting the imaging effect of the ultrasound equipment, thereby improving the image quality of the ultrasound equipment.

[0077] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific value of the number of wiping times. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs. For example, in some embodiments, the number of wiping times is 10.

[0078] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the trajectory of the reciprocating motion of the wiping member 2. The trajectory of the reciprocating motion of the wiping member 2 can be a straight line, an arc, a curve, or a wavy line, as long as it can ensure that the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 is thoroughly cleaned.

[0079] Furthermore, to facilitate control of the reciprocating motion of the wiping element 2, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe 1 is provided with a first limit switch 50 and a second limit switch 60, which are used to respectively limit the two extreme positions of the reciprocating motion of the wiping element 2; the above step S102: controlling the first driving element 20 to drive the wiping element 2 to move based on the first control command includes:

[0080] When one of the first limit switch 50 and the second limit switch 60 is triggered, the first driving member 20 is controlled to drive the wiping member 2 to move toward the other of the first limit switch 50 and the second limit switch 60.

[0081] It is understood that the first limit switch 50 and the second limit switch 60 correspond to the two extreme positions of the reciprocating motion of the wiping member 2, respectively. For ease of description, the two extreme positions are referred to as the first extreme position and the second extreme position, respectively. The first limit switch 50 corresponds to the first extreme position, and the second limit switch 60 corresponds to the second extreme position. When the wiping member 2 moves to the first extreme position, the first limit switch 50 is triggered; when the wiping member 2 moves to the second extreme position, the second limit switch 60 is triggered.

[0082] During the process of controlling the first driving component 20 to drive the wiping component 2 to move based on the first control command, when the first limit switch 50 is triggered, the first driving component 20 is controlled to drive the wiping component 2 to move toward the second limit switch 60; when the second limit switch 60 is triggered, the first driving component 20 is controlled to drive the wiping component 2 to move toward the first limit switch 50, and so on, to realize the reciprocating motion of the wiping component 2.

[0083] Furthermore, during the reciprocating motion of the wiping element 2, after the wiping element 2 has completed a certain number of reciprocating motions, the wiping element 2 is controlled to stop moving. If the number of reciprocating motions of the wiping element 2 has not reached the required number of wiping motions, the wiping element 2 needs to be controlled to fold back and forth. To facilitate the control of the movement pattern of the wiping element 2, in some embodiments, the first limit switch 50 corresponds to the starting position of the reciprocating motion of the wiping element 2; when one of the first limit switch 50 and the second limit switch 60 is triggered, the first driving element 20 is controlled to drive the wiping element 2 to move toward the other of the first limit switch 50 and the second limit switch 60, including:

[0084] When the first limit switch 50 is triggered, determine whether the cumulative number of times the first limit switch 50 has been triggered has reached the number of wiping cycles.

[0085] If not, the first driving element 20 is controlled to drive the wiping element 2 to move toward the second limit switch 60.

[0086] Understandably, when the cumulative number of times the first limit switch 50 is triggered reaches the required number of wipes, the process ends. At this point, the first drive unit 20 is stopped, causing the wiping member 2 to remain at the starting position. That is, the starting and ending positions of the reciprocating motion of the wiping member 2 are the same. The wiping member 2 moves from the first extreme position to the second extreme position, and then returns from the second extreme position to the first extreme position, which constitutes one reciprocating motion.

[0087] During the reciprocating motion of the wiping component 2, when the first limit switch 50 is triggered, it is determined whether the cumulative number of times the first limit switch 50 has been triggered has reached the number of wiping cycles. If the cumulative number of times the first limit switch 50 has been triggered has not reached the number of wiping cycles, the first driving component 20 is controlled to drive the wiping component 2 to move toward the second limit switch 60 to enter the next reciprocating motion. When the cumulative number of times the first limit switch 50 has been triggered has reached the number of wiping cycles, the first driving component 20 is controlled to stop moving, so that the wiping component 2 stops at the first limit position, that is, the starting position, to end the cleaning of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0088] It should be noted that the specific structure of the first driving member 20 is not limited in the above embodiments. For example, the first driving member 20 may include a linear telescopic mechanism capable of outputting linear reciprocating motion to drive the wiping member 2 to move back and forth. The linear telescopic mechanism may be a linear motor, linear module, linear cylinder, etc. Of course, the first driving member 20 may also include a rotary driving mechanism capable of outputting rotational motion to drive the wiping member 2 to swing back and forth. Further, the first driving member 20 may also include a rotary driving mechanism capable of outputting rotational motion and a transmission mechanism connected to the rotary driving mechanism, which converts the rotational motion output by the rotary driving mechanism into the reciprocating motion of the wiping member 2. For example, when the wiping member 2 moves back and forth, the transmission mechanism may be a mechanism that converts rotational motion into linear motion. The specific structural form of the transmission mechanism can be referred to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first driving element 20 includes a DC motor. The following describes the specific steps by which the controller 10 controls the first driving element 20, using the controller 10 as a microcontroller and the first driving element 20 as a DC motor as an example. Figure 3 The diagram shows a flowchart of the controller 10 controlling the first driving element 20 in an embodiment of the present invention. The steps of the controller 10 controlling the first driving element 20 include:

[0090] S201: Initialize the I / O multiplexing, clock, and trigger mode of the three channels of the internal timer;

[0091] S202: Provides a start control signal;

[0092] S203: Power on the drive circuit to drive the DC motor to rotate, so that the DC motor drives the wiping piece 2 to the limit position and triggers the first limit switch 50 or the second limit switch 60.

[0093] S204: When a first trigger signal is received that triggers the first limit switch 50 or a second trigger signal is received that triggers the second limit switch 60, the microcontroller enters an I / O interrupt.

[0094] S205: Determine whether the received signal is the first trigger signal;

[0095] S206: If the received signal is the first trigger signal, determine whether the cumulative number of times the first trigger signal has been received has reached the number of times it can be wiped.

[0096] S207: If the cumulative number of times the first trigger signal is received has not reached the number of times it is wiped, a positive control signal is given and S203 is executed;

[0097] S208: If the received signal is not the first trigger signal, then give a reverse control signal and execute S203.

[0098] Understandably, the process ends when the cumulative number of times the first trigger signal is received reaches the required number of wipes.

[0099] Additionally, please refer to Figure 4 In cases where cleaning of the ultrasonic probe 1 is not required by the wiping element 2, to avoid the wiping element 2 affecting the normal use of the ultrasonic probe 1, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe 1 is provided with a second driving element 30, which is connected to the wiping element 2; before S101: obtaining the first control command sent by the ultrasonic host 70, the method further includes:

[0100] Receive the second control command sent by the ultrasound host 70.

[0101] Based on the second control command, the second driving component 30 drives the wiping component 2 to move from the first position to the second position. The first position is the position where the wiping component 2 is not in use, and the second position is the starting and ending position of the reciprocating motion of the wiping component 2.

[0102] In other words, when the wiping component 2 is not needed to clean the ultrasonic probe 1, the wiping component 2 is in the first position. When the wiping component 2 is needed to clean the ultrasonic probe 1, the controller 10 obtains the second control command sent by the ultrasonic host 70, and controls the second drive component 30 to drive the wiping component 2 from the first position to the second position based on the second control command. At this time, the controller 10 obtains the first control command sent by the ultrasonic host 70, and controls the first drive component 20 to drive the wiping component 2 to move based on the first control command, so that the wiping component 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 for the number of wiping cycles, thereby completing the cleaning function of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0103] To control the accuracy of the wiping member 2 reaching the second position, in some embodiments, the second driving member 30 is controlled to move the wiping member 2 from the first position to the second position based on a second control command, including:

[0104] Determine whether the rotation angle of the second driving component 30 has reached the preset value.

[0105] If not, the second driving component 30 is controlled to continue driving the wiping component 2 to move.

[0106] In other words, during the process of the second driving member 30 driving the wiping member 2 to move from the first position to the second position, the wiping member 2 is determined to have moved to the second position by judging whether the rotation angle of the second driving member 30 reaches a preset value. When the rotation angle of the second driving member 30 does not reach the preset value, it indicates that the wiping member 2 has not moved to the second position. At this time, the second driving member 30 is controlled to continue driving the wiping member 2 to move. When the rotation angle of the second driving member 30 reaches the preset value, it indicates that the wiping member 2 has moved to the position. At this time, the second driving member 30 is controlled to stop, so that the wiping member 2 stays in the second position, so that the wiping member 2 can reciprocate to clean the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0107] After the wiping element 2 has reciprocated a certain number of times and completed the cleaning of the ultrasound probe 1, in order to facilitate the wiping element 2 returning to the first position and avoid disrupting the normal operation of the ultrasound probe 1, ensuring that the ultrasound probe 1 can perform ultrasound examinations on the patient, in some embodiments, after S102: controlling the first driving element 20 to drive the wiping element 2 to move based on the first control command, so that the wiping element 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasound probe 1 for the number of wiping cycles, the following is also included:

[0108] When the number of times the wiping element 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 reaches the wiping count, a third control command is sent to the second drive element 30 so that the second drive element 30 drives the wiping element 2 to move from the second position to the first position based on the third control command.

[0109] In other words, after the wiping member 2 has completed the cleaning of the ultrasonic probe 1 by reciprocating the wiping motion a certain number of times, the second driving member 30 drives the wiping member 2 from the second position to the first position based on the third control command, so that the wiping member 2 is in the position when it is not in use, so as to avoid the wiping member 2 affecting the normal inspection of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0110] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the wiping member 2 reaching the first position, the process of driving the wiping member 2 from the second position to the first position based on the third control command by the second driving member 30 may also include:

[0111] Determine whether the rotation angle of the second driving component 30 has reached a preset value. The preset value of the rotation angle can be 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°, etc.

[0112] If not, the second driving component 30 is controlled to continue driving the wiping component 2 to move.

[0113] It should be noted that the above embodiments do not limit the specific structure of the second driving member 30, as long as the second driving member 30 can drive the wiping member 2 to rotate between the first position and the second position. In some embodiments, the second driving member 30 includes a motor, for example, a brushless motor.

[0114] The following example, using a microcontroller as the controller 10 and a brushless motor as the second drive unit 30, illustrates the specific steps by which the controller 10 controls the second drive unit 30. Figure 5 The diagram shows a flowchart of the controller 10 controlling the second drive unit 30 in an embodiment of the present invention. The steps of the controller 10 controlling the second drive unit 30 include:

[0115] S301: Initialize the I / O multiplexing, clock, and trigger mode of the three channels of the internal timer;

[0116] S302: Acquire the initial level value of the brushless motor feedback signal;

[0117] S303: Records the cumulative number of brushless motor interruptions;

[0118] S304: Calculate the current rotation angle of the brushless motor based on the initial level value and the cumulative number of interrupts;

[0119] S305: Determine whether the current rotation angle of the brushless motor has reached the preset value;

[0120] S306: If not, enter interrupt handling and look up the table to get the next drive state;

[0121] S307: Provides drive signals to the three H half-bridge drive circuits so that the H half-bridge drive circuits provide drive voltage to the three drive lines of the brushless motor according to the drive signals, thereby driving the brushless motor to rotate.

[0122] S308: Use the microcontroller's I / O port to obtain the level changes generated when the brushless motor rotates;

[0123] S309: Generates a timer interrupt and executes S303;

[0124] Understandably, the process ends when the current rotation angle of the brushless motor reaches the preset value.

[0125] It should be noted that the above embodiments do not limit the specific positions of the first and second positions corresponding to the ultrasonic probe 1, as long as the first and second positions can meet the positional requirements of the wiping component 2.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ultrasound probe 1 includes a probe head 11 and a probe handle 12. A first position is located on a first side of the probe head 11, and a second position is located on a second side of the probe head 11. The first side is close to the probe handle 12, and the second side is adjacent to the first side. In this case, when the wiping member 2 is not needed to clean the ultrasound probe 1, the wiping member 2 is located near the probe handle 12 to allow sufficient space for the probe head 11, ensuring that the probe head 11 has enough space for ultrasound examination. This effectively prevents the wiping member 2 from interfering with the ultrasound examination of the probe head 11. In addition, the starting and ending positions of the reciprocating movement of the wiping member 2 are located on the second side of the probe head 11, which facilitates the reciprocating movement of the wiping member 2 between the second side of the probe head 11 and the side opposite to the second side, ensuring thorough cleaning of the probe head 11.

[0127] Additionally, when the wiping element 2 is in the first position, it is in a non-use state. In this case, to prevent the wiping element 2 from protruding from the ultrasonic probe 1 and affecting its normal use, and to prevent environmental factors such as dust from contaminating the wiping element 2, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the ultrasonic probe 1 has a receiving groove 3, a cover 4, and a first elastic element connecting the receiving groove 3 and the cover 4. The receiving groove 3 is correspondingly positioned to accommodate the wiping member 2. The wiping member 2 can move in a direction perpendicular to the receiving groove 3 to enter or leave the receiving groove 3. The cover 4 is movably connected to the receiving groove 3. An electromagnet 40 is provided inside the receiving groove 3, and the cover 4 is a magnetic suction element. The control method of the ultrasonic probe also includes:

[0128] When the wiping component 2 is in the first position, the electromagnet 40 is energized so that the electromagnet 40 attracts the cover 4; wherein, when the electromagnet 40 attracts the cover 4, the cover 4 closes the storage groove 3 and the first elastic element is compressed.

[0129] Before controlling the second driving member 30 to drive the wiping member 2 to move from the first position to the second position based on the second control command, the following is also included:

[0130] The second control command de-energizes the electromagnet 40, causing the first elastic element to drive the hatch 4 to open.

[0131] In other words, when the wiping component 2 is in the first position, the electromagnet 40 is energized and its magnetic attraction is used to attract the hatch cover 4, causing the hatch cover 4 to automatically close the storage slot 3. During this process, the hatch cover 4 compresses the first elastic element, giving the first elastic element an elastic restoring force. When the controller 10 receives the second control command, it controls the electromagnet 40 to be de-energized based on the second control command, causing the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 40 on the hatch cover 4 to disappear. At this time, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the first elastic element, the hatch cover 4 is driven to open automatically, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing function of the hatch cover 4.

[0132] When the cover 4 closes the storage slot 3, the wiping component 2 is enclosed within the storage slot 3, preventing it from being exposed when not in use and affecting the use of the ultrasonic probe 1. It also prevents environmental factors such as dust from contaminating the wiping component 2 and improves the aesthetics of the ultrasonic probe 1. When the cover 4 is opened, the wiping component 2 can be removed from the storage slot 3, allowing it to be positioned above the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1. This ensures the wiping component 2 can move from the first position to the second position, facilitating cleaning of the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1.

[0133] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific implementation of the wiping member 2 moving in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3. For example, the wiping member 2 can slide in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3. When it is necessary to make the wiping member 2 move in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3, it can be driven by an external force applied by the user or by adding a third driving member to move the wiping member 2 in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3, so that the wiping member 2 enters or leaves the storage groove 3.

[0134] In some embodiments, a second elastic element is provided between the wiping member 2 and the storage slot 3. When the cover 4 closes the storage slot 3, the second elastic element is compressed. When the cover 4 opens, the second elastic element drives the wiping member 2 to pop out of the storage slot 3. That is, in this embodiment, when the cover 4 closes the storage slot 3, the pressure of the cover 4 closing drives the wiping member 2 to move in a direction perpendicular to the storage slot 3, so that the cover 4 presses the wiping member 2 into the storage slot 3. During this process, the wiping member 2 compresses the second elastic element, giving the second elastic element an elastic restoring force. When the cover 4 opens, the pressure of the cover 4 on the wiping member 2 disappears, and the elastic restoring force of the second elastic element causes the wiping member 2 to pop out of the storage slot 3, realizing that the wiping member 2 automatically enters or leaves the storage slot 3. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0135] It should be noted that the specific structure of the first elastic element and the second elastic element is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, the first elastic element and the second elastic element are springs.

[0136] In addition, to enable the wiping component 2 to move in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3, in some embodiments, the fixed end 21 of the wiping component 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 of the second driving component 30. The fixed end 21 and the rotating shaft 5 are mutually limited along the circumference of the rotating shaft 5, and can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 is located inside the storage groove 3 and is perpendicular to the bottom of the storage groove 3. Since the fixed end 21 and the rotating shaft 5 are mutually limited along the circumference of the rotating shaft 5, when the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it can drive the wiping component 2 to rotate together. Also, since the fixed end 21 and the rotating shaft 5 can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 5, and the rotating shaft 5 is perpendicular to the bottom of the storage groove 3, under the action of external force, the wiping component 2 can move in a direction perpendicular to the storage groove 3. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0137] In some embodiments, the receiving groove 3 is provided with a guide rail, the extension direction of which is the same as the reciprocating motion direction of the wiping member 2, and the fixed end 21 is slidably connected to the guide rail. That is, when the first driving member 20 drives the wiping member 2 to move, the extension direction of the guide rail defines the sliding direction of the wiping member 2, so that the wiping member 2 moves along the direction defined by the guide rail. On the one hand, this ensures the smoothness of the movement of the wiping member 2, and on the other hand, it helps to ensure the correctness of the movement direction of the wiping member 2, which helps to improve the movement accuracy of the wiping member 2.

[0138] In some embodiments, acquiring the first control command sent by the ultrasound host 70 includes:

[0139] The first control command sent by the ultrasound host 70 when it detects trigger information for the target button is acquired;

[0140] And / or,

[0141] The first control command sent by the ultrasound host 70 when the ultrasound scanning state is detected to be over is obtained.

[0142] In other words, the automatic cleaning function of the wiping element 2 can be triggered automatically or by a button. That is, the end of the ultrasonic scan can be used as the trigger condition. After the ultrasonic scan ends, the ultrasonic host 70 automatically generates a first control command based on the configuration information, so that the controller 10 controls the first drive element 20 to drive the wiping element 2 to move, so that the wiping element 2 moves back and forth along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 a number of times to complete the cleaning function; or, the trigger condition can be the triggering of a target button. When the trigger information for the target button is detected, the ultrasonic host 70 generates a first control command based on the configuration information according to the trigger information of the target button to start the automatic cleaning function of the wiping element 2.

[0143] It should be noted that the target button can be a physical button or a virtual button located in a fixed position on the preset interface (such as the scanning interface) of the ultrasound host 70.

[0144] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic probe 1 includes a wiping component 2, a first driving component 20, a second driving component 30, a first limit switch 50, a second limit switch 60, a storage slot 3, a cover 4, and a first elastic component connecting the storage slot 3 and the cover 4. The wiping component 2 is movably disposed on the ultrasonic probe 1, connected to the first driving component 20 and the second driving component 30 respectively, and can move in a direction perpendicular to the storage slot 3 to enter or leave the storage slot 3. The storage slot 3 is correspondingly disposed to the first position and is used to accommodate the wiping component 2. An electromagnet 40 is disposed in the storage slot 3, and the cover 4 is a magnetic suction component, which is movably connected to the storage slot 3. The first driving component 20, the second driving component 30, the electromagnet 40, the first limit switch 50, and the second limit switch 60 are all connected to the controller 10 of the ultrasonic probe 1, and the controller 10 is connected to the ultrasonic host 70.

[0145] In this embodiment, the control block diagram of controller 10 is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0146] In this embodiment, the control flow of controller 10 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, it includes:

[0147] S401: Configure clock, GPIO, timer, and serial port;

[0153] S407: If it is not a stop command, determine whether the serial port data is a control command, which includes a first control command, a second control command, and a third control command; if the serial port data is a control command, execute S408 to S412; if the serial port data is not a control command, execute S402.

[0154] S408: Based on the second control command, the electromagnet 40 is de-energized so that the first elastic element drives the hatch 4 to open;

[0155] S409: Based on the second control command, control the second driving component 30 to drive the wiping component 2 to move from the first position to the second position;

[0156] S410: Based on the first control command, control the first driving component 20 to drive the wiping component 2 to move, so that the wiping component 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 to wipe a number of times;

[0157] S411: When the number of times the wiping element 2 reciprocates along the surface of the ultrasonic probe 1 reaches the number of wiping times, the second driving element 30 is controlled to drive the wiping element 2 from the second position to the first position based on the third control command;

[0158] S412: When the wiping member 2 is in the first position, the electromagnet 40 is energized so that the electromagnet 40 attracts the cover 4; wherein, when the electromagnet 40 attracts the cover 4, the cover 4 closes the storage groove 3 and the first elastic member is compressed.

[0159] Understandably, the process ends when the serial port data is a stop command.

[0169]

[0170] This invention provides a control method for an ultrasonic probe. The method is applied to a controller within the ultrasonic probe, which is connected to an ultrasonic host via the controller. The ultrasonic probe includes a wiping component, a first driving component, and a second driving component. The wiping component is movably disposed within the ultrasonic probe, and both the first and second driving components are connected to the wiping component. The ultrasonic probe also includes a receiving groove, a cover, and a first elastic component connecting the receiving groove and the cover. A second elastic component is disposed between the wiping component and the receiving groove. The ultrasonic probe further includes a first limit switch and a second limit switch. The method includes the following implementation process:

[0171] 1. The ultrasonic unit receives configuration information input by the user through the ultrasonic probe cleaning function setting interface: it receives the number of wipes set by the user through the attachment removal count control; and it receives the trigger mode set by the user through the trigger mode control. Assume the user sets the number of wipes to 5, and the trigger mode to automatic - trigger after scan completion.

[0172] 2. The ultrasound host monitors the ultrasound scanning status in real time. When it is determined that the ultrasound scanning status has ended, it automatically sends a second control command to the controller.

[0173] 3. The controller receives the second control command sent by the ultrasound host; based on the second control command, it controls the electromagnet to be de-energized so that the first elastic element drives the hatch to open and the second elastic element drives the wiping component to pop out of the storage slot; and controls the second driving element to drive the wiping component to rotate from the first position to the second position.

[0174] 4. The ultrasound host generates configuration information based on the number of wiping cycles, and sends the first control command to the controller based on the configuration information.

[0175] 5. The controller receives the first control command sent by the ultrasound host. Based on the first control command, it controls the first drive unit to drive the wiping component to move; when one of the first limit switch and the second limit switch is triggered, it controls the first drive unit to drive the wiping component to move towards the other of the first limit switch and the second limit switch. At the same time, when the first limit switch is triggered, it determines whether the cumulative number of times the first limit switch has been triggered has reached 5 times.

[0176] 6. If the number of times is less than 5, the first driving element is controlled to drive the wiping element to move toward the second limit switch.

[0177] 7. If five times are achieved, the second driving component is controlled to rotate the wiping component from the second position to the first position, and the electromagnet is energized so that it attracts the cover and closes the storage slot. During this process, the cover compresses the first and second elastic components, causing the wiping component to move in a direction perpendicular to the storage slot so that the wiping component enters the storage slot, thus completing the automatic cleaning of the ultrasonic probe.
