Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an ultrasound-based fracture healing monitoring device. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasound, a sound wave with a frequency above 20kHz, exhibits excellent directionality and penetrating properties. In medicine, ultrasound is widely used for disease diagnosis and treatment. Medical ultrasound utilizes the echo information generated by the interaction of ultrasound waves with human tissue for diagnosis and treatment. When ultrasound waves propagate through a medium, they produce physical phenomena such as reflection, refraction, and scattering, providing doctors with valuable information about the internal structure of the human body.
[0003] Existing techniques typically rely on technicians manually adjusting ultrasound probes to monitor fracture healing. While this method is effective for monitoring healing, it also has some drawbacks. Specifically, prolonged manual operation can easily lead to fatigue for the physician, potentially causing errors and reducing the accuracy of measurement results. Furthermore, because fractures can be located in different locations on the body and vary in shape and size, it is difficult for the physician to ensure that the probe fully covers all critical areas during operation, which can affect the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring.
[0004] In summary, how to solve the problem in the existing technology that manual adjustment of the ultrasound probe position may affect the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an ultrasound-based fracture healing monitoring device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an ultrasound-based fracture healing monitoring device, which uses a telescopic part as power output to drive the ultrasonic probe to adjust its position and angle, thereby improving the flexibility and accuracy of monitoring; the entire process is uniformly managed by a controller, reducing the time cost of manual calibration and adjustment and improving work efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an ultrasound-based fracture healing monitoring device, comprising a monitoring system, a base plate and an acoustic wave probe for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, wherein the monitoring system is electrically connected to the acoustic wave probe; a driving assembly for moving the acoustic wave probe and a flipping assembly for flipping the acoustic wave probe are provided on the base plate.
[0007] The driving assembly includes a controller and a telescopic part. The controller is used to control the telescopic operation of the telescopic part. The telescopic part is fixedly connected to the base plate. The output shaft of the telescopic part is fixedly connected to a moving block. A guide block is slidably fitted on one side of the moving block. The guide block is fixedly connected to the base plate adjacent to it. An L-shaped clamping plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the moving block.
[0008] The flip assembly includes a rotating rod, one end of the rotating rod passes through the vertical end of the clamping plate and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the clamping plate provides movement space for the rotating rod; the connecting plate is rotatably matched with a rotating wheel on the side away from the rotating rod, and a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bottom plate, and an inclined sliding groove is opened on the limiting plate, and the height of the sliding groove away from the telescopic part is higher than the height of the side close to the telescopic part; the rotating wheel is located in the sliding groove and slides and rotates with the sliding groove, and the end of the rotating rod away from the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the sonic probe, and the controller is used to receive and store the sonic wave signal of the sonic probe; an adjustment component for adjusting the arc motion trajectory of the sonic probe is also provided above the bottom plate.
[0009] The technical principles of the above scheme are as follows:
[0010] The telescopic member is activated to drive the moving block to slide. Since a snap plate is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the rotating rod that passes through the snap plate, the telescopic member can drive the snap plate to move together; the snap plate then drives the rotating rod to move. Because a rotating wheel is installed on the connecting plate for rotation, the rotating wheel is located within an inclined chute and slides and rotates with the chute. The height of the chute away from the telescopic member is higher than that of the side close to the telescopic member. Therefore, during the movement of the rotating rod, the rotating wheel will drive the connecting plate from the low point of the chute to the high point. When the connecting plate rotates, it drives the rotating rod to rotate synchronously, thus achieving adjustment of the rotating rod's position and angle. Since the acoustic wave probe is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, the movement of the rotating rod can drive the acoustic wave probe to rotate and move synchronously. Using the adjustment component, the acoustic wave probe can be adjusted to an arc motion trajectory to meet the monitoring needs of different locations.
[0011] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. The present invention uses a telescopic member as a power output to precisely control the movement of the moving block and the engaging plate, which in turn drives the sliding and rotation of the rotating rod and the connecting plate within the inclined chute, thereby driving the position and angle adjustment of the acoustic wave probe to meet monitoring requirements at different locations and angles. This design allows for fine-tuning of the position and angle of the acoustic wave probe, improving monitoring flexibility and accuracy.
[0013] 2. The present invention utilizes an adjustment component to flexibly adjust the arc motion trajectory of the probe according to the specific conditions of different patients, and adjusts it according to the curvature of different parts of the body. It conforms to ergonomic design, ensures coverage of all key parts that need to be monitored, and improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of monitoring.
[0014] 3. The present invention realizes the automatic monitoring of the acoustic wave probe through the collaborative cooperation of multiple components. The entire process is managed uniformly by the controller. The operator only needs to set the basic parameters, and the subsequent actions are automatically completed by the system, which reduces the time cost of manual calibration and adjustment and improves work efficiency.
[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes an inverted T-shaped bracket, a rotating part is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the bracket, and the bracket provides an installation space for the rotating part; the controller is used to control the rotation of the rotating part; the output shaft of the rotating part passes through the bracket and is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating disk, and the rotating disk is eccentrically fixedly connected to the support rod on the side away from the bracket.
[0016] The support rod is slidably matched with the motion rod, and the bottom end of the motion rod is rotatably matched with the bracket; an extension rod is rotatably matched on the side wall of the motion rod; the end of the extension rod away from the motion rod is fixedly connected to the limit plate; the bracket is also provided with a limit assembly for providing a limit for the extension rod.
[0017] Beneficial Effects: The rotating disc is driven to rotate by a rotating member. Since the rotating disc is eccentrically fixedly connected to a support rod, the support rod slides with the motion rod, and the bottom end of the motion rod rotates with the bracket. Therefore, the support rod can be driven to rotate by the rotating disc, and the support rod drives the motion rod to rotate in an arc trajectory around its rotational coordination point with the bracket. Because an extension rod rotates on the other side of the motion rod, and the bottom end of the extension rod is fixedly connected to the limit plate, and the acoustic wave probe is located below the limit plate, the motion rod can drive the limit plate to move during its movement through the extension rod, and the movement of the limit plate drives the acoustic wave probe to move synchronously. This arc-shaped motion structure meets the body curves and further improves the accuracy of monitoring.
[0018] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a rack and a sector gear, the sector gear and the rack are meshed with each other; the rack is laterally slidably matched with the horizontal end of the bracket, and the sector gear is fixedly connected to the motion rod on the side away from the rack.
[0019] Beneficial effect: Since the sector gear and the rack are engaged with each other, the rack and the horizontal end of the bracket slide laterally, and the sector gear is fixedly connected to the motion rod, when the motion rod moves, the meshing relationship between the sector gear and the rack provides a reliable mechanical locking method, preventing the motion rod from deviating from the preset path due to external factors, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of the structure operation.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the bracket is fixedly connected to a shell, and the bottom of the shell is provided with a moving groove for the extension rod to move.
[0021] Beneficial effect: The design of the shell provides a relatively closed space for the internal mechanism of the device, effectively isolating dust, moisture, dirt and other impurities in the external environment from entering the device, reducing the damage of these impurities to various components and extending the service life of the device.
[0022] Furthermore, the bottom of the shell is symmetrically fixedly connected with support legs.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The design of the support legs can provide support for the device, so that the device can be installed above the location to be monitored, such as a hospital bed, an operating table or a mobile stretcher.
[0024] Furthermore, the supporting leg includes an upper section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is located inside the lower section and is slidably engaged with the inner side wall of the lower section.
[0025] Beneficial effect: By adjusting the position of the upper section within the lower section, the operator can adjust the height of the supporting legs according to actual needs, so that the device can meet the arc surface design of different angles.
[0026] Furthermore, the upper portion of the lower section is threadedly connected to a limiting bolt, which passes through the side wall of the lower section and extends to the interior of the lower section.
[0027] Beneficial effect: The design of the limit bolt allows the operator to lock it after adjusting the height, preventing the support legs from accidentally sliding or changing position due to external forces, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
[0028] Furthermore, a clamping block is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the guide block, and a clamping slot is provided on the movable block for the clamping block to move.
[0029] Beneficial effect: The cooperation between the card block and the card slot provides a precise motion trajectory for the moving block, preventing the moving block from lateral deviation or rotation during the sliding process.
[0030] Furthermore, the monitoring system includes the following modules:
[0031] The ultrasonic imaging module is used to use ultrasonic imaging technology to perform high-resolution imaging of the fracture site and monitor the healing status of the fracture site in real time.
[0032] The intelligent analysis module is used to automatically identify fracture sites, analyze the degree of healing, and predict the trend of fracture healing using machine learning algorithms.
[0033] The intelligent control module is used to automatically locate the fracture area based on the acoustic wave signal of the acoustic wave probe; and to control the operation of the telescopic and rotating parts to focus on monitoring the fracture site.
[0034] The early warning module is used to set the monitoring threshold according to the analysis results. If the threshold is reached, an early warning message will be sent to the doctor to assist the doctor in making decisions.
[0035] The Internet of Things module is used to provide a cloud server to share fracture monitoring data in real time.
[0036] The interactive module is used to provide an operation interface and voice prompts to assist operators in device calibration and monitoring parameter setting; and provide quantitative reports.
[0037] Benefits: High-resolution imaging and intelligent analysis ensure high-quality data for every monitoring session, reducing human error and improving diagnostic accuracy. The intelligent control and interactive module design make operation simpler and more intuitive, reducing the need for specialized skills, simplifying training, and improving work efficiency. It helps doctors promptly identify potential problems, take proactive measures, and optimize treatment plans, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes. Precise automatic positioning and consistent scanning paths ensure data reliability and comparability, enhancing the value of scientific research and clinical applications.
[0038] Furthermore, the interaction module includes the following units:
[0039] Voice control unit, used to provide voice control instructions.
[0040] The image guidance unit is used to provide image guidance function.
[0041] The report generation unit is used to generate a result report of the fracture healing progress based on the results of the machine learning algorithm.
[0042] Beneficial Effects: The combination of voice control and image guidance significantly simplifies the operating process, improves work efficiency, reduces human error, and enhances overall operational accuracy. For fracture patients with limited mobility, voice control provides a more comfortable and safer interaction method. The quantitative reports generated by the report generation unit provide doctors with reliable data support, helping them make more accurate medical decisions in a shorter time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0050] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:
[0051] Example 1:
[0052] As attached Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown: An ultrasound-based fracture healing monitoring device includes a monitoring system, a base plate 1 and an acoustic wave probe 2 for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves. The monitoring system is electrically connected to the acoustic wave probe 2; a driving component for moving the acoustic wave probe 2 and a flipping component for flipping the acoustic wave probe 2 are provided on the base plate 1.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly includes a controller and a telescopic part. In this embodiment, the telescopic part is an electric push rod 3, and the controller is used to control the telescopic operation of the electric push rod 3; the electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 with bolts, and the output shaft of the electric push rod 3 is fixedly clamped with a moving block 4, and a guide block 5 is slidably fitted on one side of the moving block 4, and the guide block 5 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 adjacent to it with screws; the other side of the moving block 4 is fixedly connected with an L-shaped clamping plate 6 with screws.
[0054] The flip assembly includes a rotating rod 7, one end of which passes through the vertical end of the locking plate 6 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8 with screws. The locking plate 6 provides movement space for the rotating rod 7; the right side of the connecting plate 8 is rotated with a rotating wheel 9, and the side wall of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected with a limiting plate 10 with screws. The limiting plate 10 is provided with an inclined slide groove, and the height of the right side of the slide groove is higher than that of the left side; the rotating wheel 9 is located in the slide groove and slides and rotates with the slide groove. The right end of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected with the sonic probe 2 with screws, and the controller is used to receive and store the sound wave signals of the sonic probe 2; an adjustment component for adjusting the arc motion trajectory of the sonic probe 2 is also provided above the base plate 1.
[0055] like Figure 2As shown, the adjustment assembly includes an inverted T-shaped bracket 11, and a rotating part is fixedly connected to the vertical end of the bracket 11 by bolts. In this embodiment, the rotating part is a rotating motor 12, and the bracket 11 provides an installation space for the rotating motor 12; the controller is used to control the rotation operation of the rotating motor 12; the output shaft of the rotating motor 12 passes through the bracket 11 and is coaxially fixed with a rotating disk 13, and the rotating disk 13 is fixedly connected to a support rod 14 by an eccentric screw on the side away from the bracket 11.
[0056] The support rod 14 is slidably fitted with a moving rod 15, and the bottom end of the moving rod 15 is rotatably fitted with the bracket 11; an extension rod 16 is rotatably fitted on the side wall of the moving rod 15; the bottom end of the extension rod 16 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 10 with screws; the bracket 11 is also provided with a limiting component for providing a limit for the extension rod 16.
[0057] The limiting assembly includes a rack 17 and a sector gear 18 , which mesh with the rack 17 ; the rack 17 slides laterally with the horizontal end of the bracket 11 , and the top of the sector gear 18 is integrally formed with the motion rod 15 .
[0058] Specifically, the rotating motor 12 drives the rotating disk 13 to rotate. Since the rotating disk 13 is fixedly connected to the support rod 14 by the eccentric screw, the support rod 14 and the motion rod 15 are slidably matched, and the bottom end of the motion rod 15 is rotationally matched with the bracket 11, the rotating disk 13 can drive the support rod 14 to rotate, and the support rod 14 drives the motion rod 15 to rotate in an arc trajectory around its rotational matching point with the bracket 11. Figure 2 For example, when the rotating disk 13 rotates clockwise to its right side, the support rod 14 will also drive the top of the moving rod 15 to move to the right side. When the support rod 14 continues to rotate to the left side of the rotating disk 13, the top of the moving rod 15 will rotate to the left side accordingly. In this reciprocating process, the arc-shaped reciprocating motion trajectory of the top of the moving rod 15 is realized.
[0059] Because the top of the motion rod 15 rotates in conjunction with the extension rod 16, and the bottom end of the extension rod 16 is screw-fixed to the limit plate 10, and the acoustic wave probe 2 is located below the limit plate 10, the top of the motion rod 15 can drive the limit plate 10 to move through the extension rod 16, and the movement of the limit plate 10 drives the acoustic wave probe 2 to move synchronously. This arc-shaped motion structure conforms to the body curves of the human body and further improves the accuracy of monitoring.
[0060] Since the sector gear 18 and the rack 17 are meshed with each other, the rack 17 and the horizontal end of the bracket 11 are laterally slidably matched, and the sector gear 18 and the moving rod 15 are integrally formed, when the moving rod 15 moves, the meshing relationship between the sector gear 18 and the rack 17 can provide a reliable mechanical locking method to prevent the moving rod 15 from deviating from the preset path due to external factors, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of the structure operation.
[0061] The specific implementation process is as follows: First, before the test, place the bracket 11 above the position to be monitored, and apply an appropriate amount of coupling agent on the contact surface between the ultrasonic probe 2 and the skin. Figure 3 For example, by starting the electric push rod 3 to drive the moving block 4 to slide, since the top of the moving block 4 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6 by screws, and the rotating rod 7 passes through the clamping plate 6 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8 by screws, the electric push rod 3 and the moving block 4 can drive the clamping plate 6 to move together; the clamping plate 6 drives the rotating rod 7 to move. Since the connecting plate 8 is rotatably matched with a rotating wheel 9, the rotating wheel 9 slides and rotates with the inclined slide groove, so during the movement of the rotating rod 7, the rotating wheel 9 will drive the connecting plate 8 to rotate from the low point of the slide groove to the high point.
[0062] Since the connecting plate 8 and the rotating wheel 9 rotate in coordination, and the other end of the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7 with screws, the special connection structure of the connecting plate 8 makes the rotating wheel 9 and the rotating rod 7 eccentric, so that when the rotating wheel 9 moves from the low point to the high point of the inclined slide, the connecting plate 8 will rotate around the rotating rod 7. When the connecting plate 8 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate synchronously, so that the position and angle of the rotating rod 7 can be adjusted.
[0063] Since the acoustic wave probe 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 7 by screws, the movement of the rotating rod 7 can drive the acoustic wave probe 2 to rotate and move synchronously. The support rod 14 and the moving rod 15 fixedly connected by the eccentric screws on the rotating disk 13 can adjust the arc motion trajectory of the acoustic wave probe 2 to meet the monitoring needs of different locations.
[0064] The present invention uses an electric push rod 3 as a power output to precisely control the movement of the moving block 4 and the engaging plate 6, thereby driving the sliding and rotation of the rotating rod 7 and the connecting plate 8 within the inclined chute, thereby driving the position and angle adjustment of the acoustic wave probe 2 to meet the monitoring needs of different positions and angles. This design allows for fine-tuning of the position and angle of the acoustic wave probe 2, improving the flexibility and accuracy of monitoring.
[0065] The motion rod 15 allows for flexible adjustment of the probe's arc trajectory based on the specific patient's condition, adjusting the arc according to different body parts. This ergonomic design ensures coverage of all key areas requiring monitoring, improving comprehensiveness and accuracy. Through the collaborative operation of multiple components, the ultrasonic probe 2 achieves automated monitoring. The entire process is centrally managed by a controller; the operator only needs to set basic parameters, and subsequent actions are automatically completed by the system, reducing the time and cost of manual calibration and adjustment and improving work efficiency.
[0066] Example 2:
[0067] As attached Figure 1As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the bottom of the bracket 11 is further fixedly connected to the shell 19 by screws, and the bottom of the shell 19 is provided with a moving groove for the extension rod 16 to move.
[0068] The specific implementation process is as follows: The design of the shell 19 provides a relatively closed space for the internal mechanism of the device, effectively isolating dust, moisture, dirt and other impurities in the external environment from entering the device, reducing the damage of these impurities to various components and extending the service life of the device.
[0069] Example 3:
[0070] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the bottom of the housing 19 is further symmetrically fixed with support legs 20 by screws.
[0071] The specific implementation process is as follows: the support legs 20 are designed to provide support for the device, and the support legs are installed above the location to be monitored, such as a hospital bed, an operating table or a mobile stretcher, by bolts to improve the practicality of the device.
[0072] Example 4:
[0073] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the support leg 20 includes an upper section and a lower section, and the upper section is located inside the lower section and slides with the inner side wall of the lower section.
[0074] The specific implementation process is as follows: by adjusting the position of the upper section within the lower section, the operator can adjust the height of both sides of the support leg 20 according to actual needs, so that the device can meet the arc surface design of different angles.
[0075] Example 5:
[0076] As attached Figure 4 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the upper part of the lower section is threadedly connected with a limiting bolt 21, and the limiting bolt 21 passes through the side wall of the lower section and extends to the interior of the lower section.
[0077] The specific implementation process is as follows: The design of the limit bolt 21 allows the operator to lock it after adjusting the height, preventing the support leg 20 from accidentally sliding or changing position due to external force, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure.
[0078] Example 6:
[0079] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that a clamping block is symmetrically integrally formed on the top of the guide block 5, and the moving block 4 is provided with a clamping slot for the clamping block to move.
[0080] The specific implementation process is as follows: the cooperation between the clamping block and the clamping slot provides a precise motion trajectory for the moving block 4, thereby preventing the moving block 4 from lateral deviation or rotation during the sliding process.
[0081] Example 7:
[0082] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the monitoring system includes an ultrasonic imaging module, an intelligent analysis module, an intelligent control module, an early warning module and an interactive module.
[0083] The ultrasonic imaging module is primarily used for high-resolution imaging of the fracture site. The intelligent analysis module automatically identifies the fracture site and analyzes the degree of healing. The intelligent control module automatically locates the fracture area and provides focused monitoring of the fracture site. The early warning module sends warning information to doctors to assist in decision-making. The Internet of Things module is used to share fracture monitoring data in real time. The interactive module provides an operation interface and voice prompts, as well as quantitative reports.
[0084] The following is a detailed introduction to the functions of each module:
[0085] The ultrasonic imaging module is used to use ultrasonic imaging technology to perform high-resolution imaging of the fracture site and monitor the healing status of the fracture site in real time.
[0086] The intelligent analysis module is used to automatically identify fracture sites, analyze the degree of healing, and predict the trend of fracture healing using machine learning algorithms.

[0091] The interactive module includes a voice control unit, an image guidance unit, and a report generation unit; each of which implements the following functions:
[0092] The voice control unit is used to provide voice control instructions. This embodiment's voice control unit is implemented based on voice interaction technology and primarily involves collecting audio and performing voice recognition on the collected audio. The voice recognition process primarily includes audio preprocessing (filtering, noise reduction, and enhancement), feature extraction (such as MFCC and LPCC), voice model training (such as HMM and DNN), and outputting the recognition results.
[0093] The image guidance unit is used to provide an image guidance function.
[0094] The report generation unit is used to generate a result report on the progress of fracture healing based on the results of the machine learning algorithm.
[0095] The specific implementation process is as follows: High-resolution imaging and intelligent analysis ensure high-quality data for each monitoring session, reducing human error and improving diagnostic accuracy. The intelligent control and interactive module design makes operation simpler and more intuitive, reducing the need for specialized skills, simplifying training, and improving work efficiency. It helps doctors promptly identify potential problems, take proactive measures, and optimize treatment plans, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes. Precise automatic positioning and consistent scanning paths ensure data reliability and comparability, enhancing the value of scientific research and clinical applications.
[0096] The combination of voice control and image guidance significantly simplifies the operation process, improves work efficiency, reduces human error, and enhances overall accuracy. For fracture patients with limited mobility, voice control provides a more comfortable and safer interaction method. The quantitative reports generated by the report generation unit provide doctors with reliable data support, helping them make more accurate medical decisions in a shorter time.
