Through this embodiment, the portable ultrasound device has a high-efficiency voice interaction capability, enabling users to complete the control of various functions of the device without manual operation, greatly improving the convenience of use and work efficiency.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the probe device includes a piezoelectric ceramic sensor array, the piezoelectric ceramic sensor is pressed from a lead zirconate titanate-based material, and the outside of the probe device is wrapped with a medical silicone protective cover.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the piezoelectric ceramic sensor array is pressed by lead zirconate titanate-based materials, which improves the sensitivity and stability of the sensor. At the same time, the use of medical silicone protective cover can effectively protect the probe device from damage by the external environment, thereby extending the service life of the device. Piezoelectric ceramics (such as PZT), as an ultrasonic transducer material, have good electroacoustic conversion efficiency and mechanical strength, and can provide clearer and higher resolution images; the sensor array made of PZT-based materials helps to improve the quality of ultrasonic imaging; the use of lead zirconate titanate-based materials can increase the durability and reliability of the probe, because this material has good stability and durability, and is not easily damaged during repeated use and disinfection. The piezoelectric ceramic sensor array has high sensitivity and accuracy, and can capture ultrasonic signals more accurately, thereby improving the clarity and accuracy of ultrasonic images; the lead zirconate titanate-based material has good piezoelectric properties and stability, and can maintain a high performance level in long-term use, thereby extending the service life of the probe.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the portable ultrasound device has a variety of probe types, including linear array probes, convex array probes and phased array probes, which are respectively suitable for different detection scenarios, thereby improving the versatility and application range of the device. In order to reduce the size of the device, traditional portable ultrasound devices may only be equipped with one type of probe, which cannot meet all detection requirements; the portable ultrasound device is compatible with different types of probes, so it is suitable for a variety of detection scenarios. Different types of probes have different characteristics in terms of detection depth, resolution, field of view, etc. Users can choose the appropriate probe type according to actual detection needs, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the device. Different medical detection scenarios require different types of ultrasound probes. For example, linear array probes are suitable for situations where linear scanning is required, convex array probes are suitable for situations where curved scanning is required, and phased array probes provide more advanced beam control, which is suitable for situations where complex scanning modes are required. Linear array probes are usually used in situations where high resolution is required, convex array probes are suitable for detection that requires a wider field of view, and phased array probes can provide dynamic focusing and sound beam direction control, thereby improving the accuracy of detection. Different probe types are suitable for different inspection sites and inspection requirements. For example, linear array probes are suitable for examinations of superficial organs, such as the thyroid gland and musculoskeletal system; convex array probes are more suitable for examinations of deep tissues such as the abdomen and gynecology; and phased array probes provide greater flexibility and can produce sound beams with variable focus, which are suitable for examinations of the heart and other areas that require dynamic adjustment of the focus area. The design of different probes can optimize the propagation path of ultrasound waves, thereby providing the best imaging effect for tissues at different depths. For example, convex array probes can better focus on deep structures through curved design, while linear array probes provide better resolution for superficial imaging. By selecting the appropriate probe type, you can provide optimized imaging effects for different examination objects without worrying about the limitations that a single probe may bring. This is especially important for home users or outdoor users because it means that one device can meet multiple health monitoring needs.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the probe device includes a probe interface, and the handheld host device also includes a target interface, wherein the target interface is arranged on a side of the host housing, the probe interface and the target interface are matched with each other, the target interface is electrically connected to the mainboard, and the detection data is transmitted to the mainboard through the target interface; the probe interface and the target interface allow direct plug-in connection or connection through a connecting line.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the connection between the probe device and the handheld host device is more convenient and quick. The direct plug-in or connection through a connecting line facilitates the user to flexibly select the connection method according to actual needs, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of the device. The matching design of the probe interface and the target interface ensures the efficiency and reliability of data transmission, and the electrical connection between the target interface and the main board ensures that the detection data can be quickly and accurately transmitted to the main board for processing. In traditional ultrasound equipment, the probe device and the main body may be fixedly connected, that is, the connection of the probe device is not removable, resulting in inconvenience in use. This embodiment greatly simplifies the connection steps between the probe and the main body by setting mutually matching probe interfaces and target interfaces, and allowing direct plug-in connection or connection through a connecting line; whether it is direct plug-in connection or connection through a connecting line, efficient and accurate data transmission can be achieved, thereby ensuring the clarity and accuracy of ultrasonic imaging. Allowing the probe device and the handheld host device to be connected directly or through a connecting line not only facilitates the user's operation, but also increases the flexibility of the device. For example, the user can choose the most appropriate connection method according to actual needs, such as using a direct connection method in a small space, and using a connecting line when the distance is far or a larger range of activities is required. Convenient probe connection and replacement, reliable data transmission and flexible probe selection together enhance the overall user experience.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, when the probe interface and the target interface are already connected, the handheld host device automatically identifies the target probe type in the probe device and configures target imaging parameters corresponding to the target probe type.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the portable ultrasound device can automatically identify the target probe type in the probe device after the probe interface is connected to the target interface, and configure the target imaging parameters corresponding to the probe type, thereby improving the convenience of use and imaging efficiency of the device. This embodiment realizes the automatic recognition function of the probe type, reduces the steps of manual selection and configuration of the probe type by the user, and reduces the complexity of operation. In the related art, when the user replaces the probe, it is usually necessary to manually set or select a new probe type and its corresponding imaging parameters. This step may be cumbersome and prone to error. Different probe types are suitable for different inspection scenarios and imaging requirements. If the imaging parameters are not configured accurately, it may also affect the quality of ultrasound imaging and the accuracy of diagnosis. Especially for non-professionals, these are difficult to complete, which limits the ease of use and applicability of the device. In this embodiment, according to the identified probe type, the handheld host device automatically configures the target imaging parameters corresponding to the target probe type, which ensures the accuracy and applicability of the imaging parameters and improves the quality of ultrasound imaging and the accuracy of diagnosis; the handheld host device is configured with an automatic recognition module, and the device can automatically identify the probe type after the probe is connected, reducing the user's operation steps and improving the intelligence level of the device.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, a preset grid area is provided on the side of the host housing corresponding to the microphone part of the pickup, and the preset grid area allows sound waves to pass through, wherein a waterproof and sound-permeable membrane is also provided between the microphone of the pickup and the corresponding preset grid area.

[0047] In the above embodiment, a preset grid area is set to allow sound waves to pass through, and a waterproof sound-permeable membrane is provided between the microphone of the microphone pickup and the preset grid area, thereby achieving effective protection of the microphone while ensuring smooth transmission of sound, improving the accuracy of voice recognition, and achieving waterproofing. Adding a waterproof sound-permeable membrane between the microphone and the grid area can reduce the loss of sound during transmission, maintain the clarity of the sound signal, and effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the interior of the device, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components from damage. This is especially important for portable devices because they may be used in a variety of environments, including humid or dusty environments. This design ensures that the microphone pickup can accurately capture the user's voice commands and maintain a high recognition rate even in noisy or obstructed environments.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, when the recognition result indicates that the target imaging parameters need to be adjusted, the mainboard performs a parameter adjustment operation corresponding to the recognition result.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the portable ultrasound device can automatically adjust the imaging parameters according to the results of voice recognition, thereby improving the convenience of operation and imaging accuracy of the device. In the related art, the adjustment of imaging parameters usually depends on the experience and judgment of the operator. However, this manual adjustment method may not be timely enough, especially in a rapidly changing inspection environment, which may result in poor imaging quality or miss important diagnostic information; this embodiment realizes the automatic adjustment of imaging parameters by executing the parameter adjustment operation corresponding to the recognition result through the main board, which ensures that the imaging parameters can be adjusted in a timely and accurate manner according to the actual situation. By integrating the voice recognition module and enabling the main board to execute the parameter adjustment operation corresponding to the recognition result, the device can automatically recognize voice instructions and automatically adjust the imaging parameters, reducing the complexity of the user's operation and improving the intelligence level of the ultrasound detection process.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the display device uses an OLED display screen, which is a touch screen. The interface of the touch screen is provided with a plurality of inspection modes. When the target inspection mode is selected, in response to the start inspection instruction, the probe device sends an ultrasonic pulse signal to the object under test and receives an echo signal reflected by the object under test. The detection data is obtained based on the conversion of the echo signal.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the display device adopts an OLED display screen, and the display screen is a touch screen, and a variety of inspection modes are set on the touch screen interface. When the target inspection mode is selected and the start inspection instruction is received, the probe device can send an ultrasonic pulse signal to the object under test and receive the returned echo signal, and then convert the echo signal into detection data, thereby realizing convenient and efficient ultrasonic detection operation. Traditional LCD screens may not be as good as OLED displays in terms of brightness and contrast, especially in outdoor or strong light environments, the screen may be difficult to see. OLED displays have higher contrast and a wider color gamut, which can provide clearer and more vivid display effects. After selecting the target inspection mode, the device can quickly respond to the start inspection instruction, send an ultrasonic pulse signal to the object under test, and receive the reflected echo signal. Then, the detection data is obtained based on the echo signal conversion and displayed on the screen in real time. This process is fast and accurate, which improves the response speed and imaging efficiency of the device. By setting multiple inspection modes, users can choose the most suitable mode according to different inspection needs, which enables one device to be competent for multiple inspection tasks and improves the versatility and flexibility of the device. The design of the touch screen allows users to perform various operations by touching the screen, such as switching inspection modes, adjusting parameter settings, etc., which improves the user's interactive experience.
