Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ultrasonic technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic inspection device and an ultrasonic contrast probe device with a heating function. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasound is a sound wave with a frequency of more than 20,000 Hz. It has good directionality, strong penetration, and easy to concentrate sound energy. It can propagate long distances in water and is widely used in the fields of distance measurement, speed measurement, cleaning, welding, stone crushing, sterilization, etc., especially in medicine, military, industry and agriculture. In medicine, ultrasound examination diagnoses whether an organ has lesions by transmitting ultrasound to the human body, using the differences in reflection, refraction and absorption at different tissue interfaces, combined with the waveform, curve or image characteristics displayed by the instrument, and based on anatomical knowledge and pathological changes.

[0003] In the prior art, ultrasonic inspection equipment still has the following disadvantages during use: 1. In the current field of medical technology, medical ultrasonic examination equipment is often cleverly placed on a mobile stand. This design does provide the convenience of flexible transfer. However, this also makes the ultrasonic examination equipment appear quite large in size. In actual clinical application scenarios, this size has become a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it demonstrates the powerful functions and stability of the equipment; on the other hand, it also poses a considerable challenge to the medical staff in carrying it. If such a device needs to be carried to the patient's bedside or remote examination point, it is undoubtedly a difficult task for medical staff, and it is difficult to easily meet the needs of immediate and anywhere examinations. 2. In the actual operation of ultrasound examination, the ultrasound probe needs to fit closely to the patient's skin to obtain a clear image. In this process, the application of coupling agent is crucial, as it can effectively exclude air and promote the conduction of ultrasound. However, the temperature of the ultrasound probe and coupling agent is often lower than the patient's body temperature, which will inevitably bring a little coolness and discomfort to the patient during the examination. Especially in the cold winter, the cold touch is more likely to aggravate the patient's discomfort and even cause the risk of catching a cold. In addition, the application and timely replenishment of coupling agent usually require manual operation by medical staff. This process not only increases the number of examination steps, but may also delay the overall efficiency of the examination to a certain extent, posing certain challenges to rapid and accurate diagnosis.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , inspection equipment, relates to the field of ultrasonic technology, the ultrasonic inspection equipment mainly includes a shell 1, and a placement plate 3 is arranged inside the shell 1. A display screen 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement plate 3 for displaying the image of ultrasonic inspection. An operation keyboard 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the shell 1 through a hinge shaft, which is convenient for medical personnel to operate. A handle is also fixed on the top of the shell 1 to facilitate carrying and moving the entire device.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 An ultrasonic handle 21 is provided on one side of the housing 1 for ultrasonic examination. In order to fix the ultrasonic handle 21, a fixing frame 22 is also fixed on this side of the housing 1, and a pressing plate 23 is slidably connected above the fixing frame 22. The fixing frame 22 and the pressing plate 23 cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the ultrasonic handle 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the ultrasonic handle 21 during use.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In addition, a storage box 16 is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the housing 1. The storage box 16 is used to store coupling agent and can automatically add coupling agent to the ultrasonic handle 21 to ensure smooth inspection.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 In order to realize the unfolding and storage of the display screen 5 and the operation keyboard 6, the device also includes a storage structure. The storage structure specifically includes a rotating shaft 2 rotatably connected to the shell 1, and the placement plate 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 is also sleeved with two first torsion springs 4, one end of the two first torsion springs 4 is respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the placement plate 3, and the other end is respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the shell 1. Such a design allows the placement plate 3 to rotate within a certain range. Both sides of the placement plate 3 are rotatably connected with connecting rods 7, and the bottom ends of the two connecting rods 7 are rotatably connected to the operation keyboard 6. When the operation keyboard 6 rotates, the placement plate 3 will be driven to rotate through the connecting rod 7. In order to limit the placement plate 3 in the storage state, a plurality of baffles 8 are fixed to the top inner wall of the shell 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 A pin rod 9 is also slidably passed through the top of the housing 1, and the outer wall of the pin rod 9 is sleeved with a first tension spring 10 fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. The top of the first tension spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pin rod 9, and a pin hole is provided on the top of the placement plate 3. When the placement plate 3 is in the storage state, the pin rod 9 can be inserted into the pin hole to position the placement plate 3.

[0026] Specifically, when in use, the operation keyboard 6 is rotated until the operation keyboard 6 is placed horizontally on the desktop. At this time, the operation keyboard 6 drives the placement plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting rod 7, so that the placement plate 3 is tilted, which is convenient for medical staff to view the image displayed on the display screen 5 and perform corresponding operations on the operation keyboard 6.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 In order to further improve the portability and stability of the device, the storage structure also includes two bases 11 fixed to the side of the housing 1 away from the operation keyboard 6. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected between the two bases 11, and two supporting legs 13 are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. A second torsion spring 14 is also fixed between the two supporting legs 13 and the adjacent bases 11, and the second torsion spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. A plurality of pull ropes 15 are also wound around the outer wall of the rotating rod 12, and one end of the pull rope 15 extends into the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the placement plate 3.

[0028] Specifically, when the placement plate 3 rotates counterclockwise, the pull rope 15 is pulled to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the supporting legs 13 contact the desktop and support the shell 1, thereby increasing the overall stability of the shell 1.

[0029] Reference Figure 7 The ultrasonic handle 21 is specifically composed of a base 28 and a grip 29. The grip 29 is firmly fixed on the top of the base 28 to facilitate hand-held operation by medical personnel.

[0030] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 On the top inner wall of the base 28, we fixed a mounting column 34, and the bottom of the mounting column 34 is embedded with the ultrasonic probe body 35, which is the core component for ultrasonic inspection. On the outer wall of the mounting column 34, we set a ring frame 36, and the outer wall of the ring frame 36 is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 28. In this way, the base 28, the mounting column 34 and the ring frame 36 together form a accommodating cavity 40, and the main function of this accommodating cavity 40 is to accommodate the coupling agent. In order to facilitate the addition of coupling agent into the accommodating cavity 40, we opened a material injection port connected to the accommodating cavity 40 at the top of the base 28. On the inner wall of the ring frame 36, we fixed a plurality of carbon resistance wire heating plates 37, which can heat the air in the ring frame 36 to generate heat energy. At the same time, in order to monitor the temperature in the ring frame 36 in real time, we also fixed a temperature sensor 38 on the inner wall of the ring frame 36. In addition, an annular ceramic sheet 39 is fixed to the bottom of the annular frame 36, and the ceramic sheet can evenly dissipate the heat energy in the annular frame 36, so that the patient can feel warm and comfortable when being examined.

[0031] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 On the top inner wall of the annular frame 36, we fixed and penetrated a plurality of heat-conducting copper rods 41. These heat-conducting copper rods 41 extend into the accommodating cavity 40, and can conduct the heat energy in the annular frame 36 to the coupling agent in the accommodating cavity 40, thereby preheating the coupling agent. In the mounting column 34, we set up an annular cavity 42, and the outer wall of the mounting column 34 has a plurality of liquid guide ports 43 connected to the annular cavity 42. At the bottom of the mounting column 34, we also set up a plurality of drainage channels 44 connected to the annular cavity 42. The function of these drainage channels 44 is to apply the heated coupling agent to the patient's skin.

[0032] During the entire use process, the carbon resistance wire heating sheet 37 will continue to heat the air in the annular frame 36, and the temperature sensor 38 will monitor the temperature in the annular frame 36 in real time to ensure that the temperature is always kept within an appropriate range. The heat energy in the annular frame 36 will be transferred to the coupling agent in the accommodating cavity 40 through the annular ceramic sheet 39 and the heat-conducting copper rod 41 to preheat the coupling agent. When medical staff need to apply the coupling agent, they only need to gently press the extrusion plate 51, which is simple and quick to operate.

[0033] Reference Figure 9-11 In order to facilitate the control of the application of the coupling agent, we have slidably sleeved a lifting ring 45 on the outer wall of the mounting column 34. This lifting ring 45 is located in the accommodating cavity 40 and can be used to close the liquid guide port 43. A vertical rod 46 is fixed to the top of the lifting ring 45, and the top of the vertical rod 46 is sealed and slidably extended to the top of the base 28. On one side of the handle 29, we have opened a sliding groove 48, in which a fixed rod 49 is slidably connected, and a third spring 50 is fixed between one end of the fixed rod 49 and the inner wall of one side of the sliding groove 48, and an extrusion plate 51 is fixed to the other end of the fixed rod 49. The bottom of the extrusion plate 51 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 47, and the bottom end of the rotating plate 47 is rotatably connected to the top of the vertical rod 46.

[0034] Specifically, when the medical staff presses the squeezing plate 51, the squeezing plate 51 can pull the lifting ring 45 upward through the cooperation of the rotating plate 47 and the vertical rod 46, so that the preheated coupling agent in the accommodating cavity 40 is applied to the patient's skin through the liquid guide port 43, the annular cavity 42 and the drainage channel 44.

[0035] Reference Figure 5-Figure 8In addition, in order to automatically add the coupling agent in the storage box 16 to the ultrasonic handle 21, the device also includes a feeding structure. The feeding structure is arranged between the pressing plate 23 and the fixing frame 22. When the coupling agent needs to be added to the ultrasonic handle 21, it can be added automatically to ensure the smooth progress of the inspection. The feeding structure is mainly composed of a pressing plate 23, a trapezoidal plate 24, a second tension spring 25, a storage box 16, a guide tube 17, a closing block 18, an L-shaped rod 19 and a first spring 20. A large amount of coupling agent is stored in the storage box 16. When the coupling agent needs to be added to the accommodating cavity 40, the medical staff only needs to align the base 28 of the ultrasonic handle 21 with the bottom end of the guide tube 17 and press the handle 29 downward. The top of the handle 29 will resist and push the pressing plate 23 to move upward. At this time, the trapezoidal plate 24 will release the obstruction to the L-shaped rod 19, and the L-shaped rod 19 will move outward under the elastic force of the first spring 20, driving the closing block 18 to move and release the sealing of the top of the guide tube 17. In this way, the coupling agent in the storage box 16 can be automatically added to the accommodating cavity 40 through the guide tube 17, and the automatic loading of the coupling agent can be completed without manual operation, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency.

[0036] Reference Figure 8 A slot 31 is designed on one side of the handle 29, and the slot 31 is used to cooperate with the body pin 32 to achieve the positioning of the handle 29. In the fixing frame 22, the body pin 32 is designed to be able to slide through. When the body pin 32 is inserted into the slot 31, it plays a role in fixing the handle 29. In order to ensure that the body pin 32 can be stably maintained in the slot 31 or can be automatically reset when not needed, a third tension spring 33 is sleeved on the outer wall of the body pin 32. One end of the third tension spring 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing frame 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body pin 32. When the handle 29 needs to be unlocked, it is only necessary to manually pull the body pin 32 to remove it from the slot 31.

[0037] Reference Figure 7 A U-shaped frame 26 is fixed on one side of the housing 1, and the U-shaped frame 26 is located below the fixing frame 22. Rubber strips 27 are fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped frame 26, and these rubber strips 27 are used to cooperate with the clearance slots 30 on both sides of the base 28. When the ultrasonic handle 21 is stored, the rubber strips 27 will be stuck in the clearance slots 30, thereby increasing the stability of the ultrasonic handle 21 when it is stored and preventing it from shaking during transportation or storage.

[0038] Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11The cross section of the annular ceramic sheet 39 is designed to be arc-shaped, and its material is selected from alumina ceramics, which has good ultrasonic wave conduction performance. The material of the mounting column 34 is selected from polystyrene foam, which has good sound insulation and shock absorption effects, and helps to reduce the loss of ultrasonic waves during propagation.

[0039] Through such a design, the ultrasonic inspection device is not only easy to carry and move, but also can provide stable support during use, and can automatically add coupling agent to the ultrasonic handle 21, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the device.

[0040] Example 2: Reference Fig.12 , based on the improvement of Example 1: an L-shaped plate 52 that can slide through is designed on the side of the housing 1 away from the operation keyboard 6. This L-shaped plate 52 is used to place the patient's medical records. A connecting block 53 is fixed at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 52, and a screw rod 54 is rotatably inserted in the connecting block 53. One end of the screw rod 54 extends into the housing 1 through a thread. By rotating the screw rod 54, the distance between the L-shaped plate 52 and the housing 1 can be controlled to adapt to medical records and images of different thicknesses.

[0041] Specifically, when medical records and images need to be carried, the position of the L-shaped plate 52 can be adjusted to keep a certain distance from the housing 1, and then the medical records and images can be put in. When the placement plate 3 and the operation keyboard 6 are stored, the support leg 13 will reset and rotate under the action of the second torsion spring 14. At this time, the support leg 13 can just clamp the medical records and images on the L-shaped plate 52. In this way, medical staff can conveniently carry the patient's medical records and images, so as to quickly understand the patient's condition.

[0042] An ultrasonic contrast imaging probe device with a heating function comprises the above-mentioned ultrasonic inspection equipment.

[0043] A method for using an ultrasonic inspection device comprises the following steps: S1. The housing 1 can be easily carried by the handle on the top of the housing 1. When it needs to be unfolded for use, the pin rod 9 is pulled upward to release the brake on the placement plate 3, and then the operating keyboard 6 is rotated until the operating keyboard 6 is placed horizontally on the desktop. At this time, the operating keyboard 6 drives the placement plate 3 to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting rod 7, so that the placement plate 3 is tilted, which is convenient for medical personnel to view the image displayed on the display screen 5. After that, the pin rod 9 is reset under the tension of the first tension spring 10, and the pin rod 9 blocks the placement plate 3 to prevent the placement plate 3 from being reset under the action of the first torsion spring 4; S2. In addition, when the placement plate 3 rotates counterclockwise, the placement plate 3 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate counterclockwise by pulling the pull rope 15, and then the supporting leg 13 contacts the desktop, which can support the shell 1 and increase the overall stability of the shell 1; S3, take out the ultrasonic handle 21 from between the fixing frame 22 and the pressing plate 23, the medical staff holds the grip 29, and puts the base 28 close to the patient's area to be examined, and performs a mobile examination in the area, and the display screen 5 displays the examination image in real time. During the examination, the carbon resistance wire heating plate 37 is started and heats the air inside the annular frame 36, and the temperature sensor 38 monitors the temperature inside the annular frame 36 in real time. The heat energy inside the annular frame 36 is transferred to the annular ceramic plate 39, which can be used when the base 28 moves. The patient feels warm and comfortable, which is convenient for the ultrasound probe body 35 to perform the inspection later. In addition, the heat-conducting copper rod 41 conducts the heat energy in the annular frame 36 to the accommodating cavity 40, thereby heating the coupling agent. When the base 28 moves, the medical staff presses the squeezing plate 51 with their fingers, and the squeezing plate 51 pulls the lifting ring 45 upward through the cooperation of the rotating plate 47 and the vertical rod 46. The preheated coupling agent in the accommodating cavity 40 is applied to the patient's skin through the liquid guide port 43, the annular cavity 42 and the drainage channel 44, bringing comfort to the patient. S4. After the inspection is completed, one side of the top of the handle 29 passes through the U-shaped frame 26 and the fixing frame 22, and the top of the handle 29 contacts the pressing plate 23 and pushes it upward, and the bottom end of the guide tube 17 can be inserted into the injection port on the base 28; until the body pin 32 is inserted into the slot 31 under the pulling force of the third tension spring 33 to complete the positioning of the handle 29, and when the pressing plate 23 moves upward, the trapezoidal plate 24 releases the obstruction of the L-shaped rod 19, and the L-shaped rod 19 extends outward under the elastic force of the first spring 20, and the closing block 18 releases the closure of the top of the guide tube 17, and the coupling agent in the storage box 16 is automatically added to the accommodating cavity 40 through the guide tube 17, and the automatic application of the coupling agent and the automatic loading of the material can be completed without manual operation, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency; S5. After the examination is completed, the corresponding patient medical records and related image pictures can be placed on the L-shaped plate 52, and the rotation of the screw 54 can control the distance between the L-shaped plate 52 and the shell 1, so as to facilitate the placement of more medical records and image pictures. When the placement plate 3 and the operating keyboard 6 are stored, the support leg 13 is reset and rotated under the action of the second torsion spring 14, and the support leg 13 can just clamp the medical records and image pictures on the L-shaped plate 52, so that medical staff can carry the patient's medical records and image pictures and quickly understand the patient's condition.
