Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an adjustable B-ultrasound probe operating device. Background Art

[0002] B-ultrasound examination is a technology that uses ultrasound to make medical diagnoses. The B-ultrasound probe emits ultrasound and receives the reflected echoes of ultrasound on different tissues in the human body to construct various cross-sectional images of various organs and surrounding organs in the human body. The images are close to the real anatomical structure and are widely used in the diagnosis of diseases of various organs such as the liver, gallbladder, kidney, bladder, and uterus. During the examination, a coupling agent must first be applied to fill the gap between the B-ultrasound probe and the patient's skin to ensure clear imaging. Then the doctor moves the B-ultrasound probe on the skin to capture the information reflected by the ultrasound to form images of different cross-sections of different organs. The doctor makes a diagnosis based on the images. Problems with existing B-ultrasound examination methods: During B-ultrasound examinations, doctors usually hold the B-ultrasound probe in their hands, move the probe on the skin, and observe the image on the computer. The directions of moving the probe are generally up, down, left, and right, which results in incomplete range and insufficient examination, which will affect the examination results. An adjustable B-ultrasound probe manipulation device is now used to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0029] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-8 As shown, an adjustable B-ultrasound probe manipulation device described in the present invention includes a frame 1, a lifting device 3 arranged on the frame 1, a rotating device 4 arranged on the lifting device 3, a universal rotating device 5 arranged on the rotating device, and a probe body 2 arranged on the universal rotating device, wherein the universal rotating device 5 includes a first support plate 51 fixedly arranged on the rotating device 4, a first rotating shaft 52 rotatably arranged on the first support plate 51, a first motor 53 fixedly arranged on the first support plate 51 and used for driving the first rotating shaft 52 to rotate, a first screw rod 54 fixedly arranged at one end of the first rotating shaft 52, a ring 55 rotatably arranged on the first screw rod 54, a second support plate 56 rotatably arranged on the ring 55, a plurality of limiting rods 57 fixedly arranged on the second support plate 56, a plurality of balls 58 arranged on the plurality of limiting rods 57, and a rotating mechanism 59 arranged below the second support plate 56 and used for driving the probe body 2 to rotate; the ring 55 is arranged in contact with the bottom of the first support plate 51.

[0031] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 59 includes two support rods 591 movably arranged on the second support plate 56, a third support plate 592 fixedly arranged on the two support rods 591, a second rotating shaft 593 rotatably arranged on the third support plate 592, a second motor 594 fixedly arranged on the third support plate 592 and used to drive the second rotating shaft 593 to rotate, a third rotating shaft 595 rotatably arranged on the second rotating shaft 593, and a fourth support plate 596 fixedly arranged at one end of the third rotating shaft 595 and used to fix the probe body 2.

[0032] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 59 also includes a circular tube 597 fixedly arranged below the third support plate 592 and cut on the second rotating shaft 593, a movable ring 598 rotatably mounted on the circular tube 597, a limiting groove 599 fixed on the movable ring 598, a limiting ball 600 fixed on the third rotating shaft 595, and a reciprocating assembly 601 arranged below the third support plate 592 and used to drive the movable ring 598 to move up and down.

[0033] Specifically, the reciprocating assembly 601 includes a third motor 6011 fixed under the third support plate 592, a fourth rotating shaft 6012 fixed on the third motor 6011, a first connecting rod 6013 fixedly mounted on the fourth rotating shaft 6012, two limiting shafts 6014 rotatably arranged on the first connecting rod 6013, and two limiting rings 6015 fixedly arranged on the movable ring 598; the two limiting shafts 6014 are rotatably arranged between the two limiting rings 6015.

[0034] When it is necessary to perform B-ultrasound examination, the lifting device 3 is started, the probe body 2 is adjusted to a suitable height, and the first motor 53 is started. The first motor 53 drives the first rotating shaft 52 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 52 drives the first screw 54 to rotate. The first screw 54 drives the ring 55 to revolve around the first rotating shaft 52, and at the same time, the ring 55 rotates, driving the second support plate 56 to revolve around the first rotating shaft 52. Since a plurality of limiting rods 57 are provided on the second support plate 56, and a plurality of balls 58 on the plurality of limiting rods 57 are in conflict with the first support plate 51, the second support plate 56 only rotates spirally around the first rotating shaft 52, and the third support plate 592 rotates accordingly, and the second motor 594 is started. The second motor 594 drives the second rotating shaft 593 to rotate, driving the third rotating shaft 595 to rotate around the axis of the second rotating shaft 593, thereby driving the probe body 2 to rotate, and the third motor 6011 is started. The fourth rotating shaft 6012 is driven to rotate, and the fourth motor 6011 rotates forward, driving the fourth rotating shaft 6012 to rotate clockwise, driving the first connecting rod 6013 to rotate clockwise, driving the movable ring 598 to move downward, and the limiting groove 599 moves downward accordingly, driving the limiting ball 600 to move downward, driving the third rotating shaft 595 to rotate about its own axis, and the probe body 2 also revolves around the axis of the third rotating shaft 595. The probe body 2 is no longer vertically downward, but has a certain angle with the vertical direction, so as to obtain organ cross-sectional images at different angles, that is, the probe body 2 can revolve around the first rotating shaft 52, can rotate on its own, and can also rotate around the third rotating shaft 595, so as to realize the universal rotation of the probe body 2; using the B-ultrasound probe operating device with the above structure, the B-ultrasound probe can be universally rotated within a certain range, the doctor can obtain a more comprehensive cross-sectional image, and the diagnosis result is more accurate.

[0035] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 59 also includes a control switch 602 fixed on the second support plate 56, and two springs 603 whose two ends are respectively fixed on the second support plate 56 and the third support plate 592; the two springs 603 are respectively sleeved on the two support rods 591; the control switch 602 is correspondingly arranged to one of the support rods 591.

[0036] When the lifting device 3 is used to adjust the height of the probe body 2, as the probe body 2 continues to descend and applies pressure to the patient, the probe body 2 is subjected to the reaction force and no longer moves downward. At this time, the lifting device 3 is still running, and the third support plate 592 moves upward relative to the second support plate 56, compressing the two springs 603, and the two support rods 591 move upward. When one of the support rods 591 hits the control switch 602, the control switch 602 controls the lifting device 3 to stop it and no longer move downward, so that the probe body 2 stops at a suitable height, preventing the probe body 2 from exerting excessive pressure on the patient and reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0037] Specifically, the lifting device 3 includes a second screw 31 rotatably provided on the frame 1, a third screw 32 rotatably provided on the frame 1, a second connecting rod 33 rotatably sleeved on the second screw 31 and the third screw 32 at both ends, a fourth motor 34 fixed on the frame 1 and used to drive the second screw 31 to rotate, a belt 35 wound around the second screw 31 and the third screw 32, and a connecting plate 36 rotatably sleeved on the second connecting rod 33.

[0038] Specifically, the lifting device 3 also includes a first limiting hole 37 provided on the second connecting rod 33, a second limiting hole 38 provided on one side of the connecting plate 36, a third limiting hole 39 provided on an adjacent side of the connecting plate 36, and a stop rod 40 detachably provided on the connecting plate 36.

[0039] Specifically, the rotating device 4 includes a U-shaped groove 41 fixed on the connecting plate 36, a fixing rod 42 fixed in the U-shaped groove 41, and a telescopic rod 43 with one end rotatably arranged on the fixing rod 42; the first supporting plate 51 is fixed to the other end of the telescopic rod 43.

[0040] Before using the operating device, the device is in a folded state. At this time, the third limiting hole 39 is aligned with the first limiting hole 37, the blocking rod 40 passes through the third limiting hole 39 and the first limiting hole 37, and the telescopic rod 43 is vertical. When in use, the blocking rod 40 is removed, the connecting plate 36 is rotated to align the second limiting hole 38 with the first limiting hole 37, and then the blocking rod 40 is installed. At this time, the telescopic rod 43 is horizontal, and the fourth motor 34 is turned on to drive the second screw rod 31 to rotate. The second screw 31 drives the third screw 32 to rotate at the same time through the belt 35, and the second connecting rod 33 moves in the vertical direction until the probe body 2 reaches a suitable height, and then the telescopic rod 43 is pulled and rotated to adjust the probe body 2, and finally the probe body 2 is located in a suitable position for inspection. The B-ultrasound probe is moved by the operating device, the probe is more stable, the image obtained is clearer, and the diagnosis result is more accurate.
