Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a medical ultrasonic probe disinfection device. Background Art

[0002] Medical ultrasound diagnosis and treatment technology is a widely used, easy-to-use, low-cost, non-ionizing, non-invasive, or minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment method. The core component of ultrasound equipment is the ultrasound probe. Filled with an intermediary ultrasonic coupling agent, the ultrasound probe and the human body form a complete, sealed sound wave penetration system, thereby completing the diagnosis of diseases. Because the ultrasound probe and coupling agent directly contact the patient's skin or mucous membranes during operation, and even contact open wounds in emergency or other outpatient clinics, this poses a potential risk of microbial transmission. If the ultrasound probe is contaminated and not disinfected or disinfected improperly, it increases the risk of nosocomial infection.

[0003] There are also differences in the disinfection methods for low-risk medical ultrasound probes, medium-risk medical ultrasound probes, and high-risk medical ultrasound probes. Among them, low-risk medical ultrasound probes are in contact with the natural barrier of the skin, so the risk of infection is lower than that of ultrasound probes that contact mucous membranes or sterile areas. Therefore, their disinfection requires the use of low- to medium-level disinfection. The coupling agent on the ultrasound probe can be wiped off and then its surface is cleaned and disinfected. In the existing technology, some disinfection devices are often used to assist in the disinfection of ultrasound probes. However, when disinfecting the ultrasound probe, it is not possible to fully clean and disinfect the surface of the probe that contacts the patient's body surface. As a result, the ultrasound probe is not fully cleaned and disinfected, and some parts are missed. This can lead to the retention of microorganisms and the potential risk of subsequent use and transmission.

[0004] For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN114521914B discloses a cleaning and disinfecting device for ultrasonic medical instruments and its use method, which first wipes the ultrasonic probe with gauze and then sprays alcohol on the ultrasonic probe for disinfection. However, during use, the ultrasonic probe is moved to bring the probe's detection end into contact with the gauze, and then the probe is further moved to spray alcohol onto the probe's detection end with a spray nozzle. This process results in the device only being able to wipe and spray alcohol onto the probe's detection end. The coupling agent on the ultrasonic probe will also move to the side of the probe's detection end as the probe moves across the patient's body during treatment. Therefore, during the subsequent cleaning and disinfection of the ultrasonic probe, relying solely on contacting the gauze with the probe's detection end and spraying alcohol onto the probe's detection end with a spray nozzle cannot achieve comprehensive cleaning and disinfection of the probe surface. This is mainly because the side of the probe's detection end becomes a blind spot during cleaning and disinfection, and thus, after disinfection, the ultrasonic probe still retains microorganisms, posing a potential risk of subsequent transmission. Another example is the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN111218525B, which discloses an automatic disinfection device for B-ultrasound probes used in ultrasonic medicine. The device places the B-ultrasound probe on a conveyor plate, moves it, and uses a vacuum cleaner to vacuum it. After the B-ultrasound probe moves to the disinfection plate, the disinfection plate is moved downward and disinfectant is sprayed on the B-ultrasound probe through the spray port on the left, and ultraviolet light is irradiated on the B-ultrasound probe through the ultraviolet light emitting lamp on the right. Finally, the B-ultrasound probe is placed on the conveyor plate, moved, and dried using a drying head. During the treatment process of the B-ultrasound probe, one side of the B-ultrasound probe is always placed on the conveyor plate or disinfection plate and contacts the conveyor plate or disinfection plate. The vacuum cleaner, spray port, ultraviolet light emitting lamp, and drying head are unable to treat this side. As a result, the side in contact with the conveyor plate or disinfection plate becomes a blind spot for cleaning and disinfection. As a result, after disinfection, the B-ultrasound probe still has the potential risk of microbial retention and subsequent transmission. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a medical ultrasound probe disinfection device that can clean and disinfect the probe surface in an all-round manner.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a medical ultrasound probe disinfection device, comprising a clamping assembly and a disinfection assembly positioned opposite the clamping assembly, wherein the clamping assembly is used to clamp the handheld section of the ultrasound probe, and further comprises a rotating base, wherein the rotating base comprises a first base and a second base rotatably disposed on the first base, wherein the second base is driven to rotate on the first base by a base driving member; The disinfection component includes: The disc body is arranged on either the first base or the second base, and the clamping assembly is arranged on the other base, and the clamping assembly and the disc body rotate relative to each other; A plurality of claws are slidably arranged on the disc body, and the plurality of claws are driven to move back and forth by a claw driving member to clamp or release the claws; A plurality of first deformation blocks are arranged on the clamping jaws in a one-to-one correspondence and move with the clamping jaws, and a cavity structure is formed between the plurality of first deformation blocks. The cavity structure is funnel-shaped, and its volume decreases or increases as the clamping jaws are clamped or loosened; The deformation strips are connected end to end to form a telescopic funnel, which is arranged on the first deformation block and located in the cavity structure; The second deformable block is provided on the disc body and is located on the central axis of the cavity structure. The second deformable block and the telescopic funnel form a disinfection cavity. Disinfectant wipes are placed in the disinfection chamber and are used to disinfect the probe surface of the ultrasound probe.

[0007] Before use, place disinfectant wipes in the disinfection chamber.

[0008] During use, the handheld section of the ultrasound probe is first secured to the clamping assembly, which utilizes a commercially available clamp. The jaws are then adjusted to tighten, gradually reducing the volume of the cavity structure until the disinfectant wipes contact the probe surface. The clamping assembly and the disc then rotate relative to each other, forcing the ultrasound probe to rotate within the disinfection cavity, which is lined with the disinfectant wipes, thereby disinfecting the probe surface.

[0009] The funnel-shaped cavity structure formed by the first deformable block changes volume as the clamping jaws tighten or loosen. A telescopic funnel is located within it, forming a disinfection chamber with the second deformable block. This adjustable disinfection chamber can better conform to the surface of ultrasound probes of varying sizes, ensuring that the disinfectant wipes fully contact the probe surface and improving comprehensive disinfection. The disinfectant wipes placed within the disinfection chamber, due to its unique structure, can tightly wrap around the probe surface, maximizing the disinfection function of the disinfectant wipes and completely avoiding blind spots.

[0010] Furthermore, the first deformation block includes: a first block, which is provided with a receiving groove on one side close to the deformation strip, and the depth of the receiving groove ranges from 3 to 5 cm; a second block, embedded in the receiving groove, and the second block is made of high-performance elastomer material.

[0011] The first block and the second block are adapted to each other, wherein the second block is soft and deformable due to its own characteristics. When the ultrasonic probe is fixed on the clamping assembly, the claw performs a clamping stroke, and the first deformable block moves with the claw, thereby prompting the first block and the second block to move toward the side close to the ultrasonic probe until the disinfectant wipes on the telescopic funnel are in close contact with the probe surface. At this time, the second block can continuously generate continuous pressure on the disinfectant wipes on the ultrasonic probe through its own deformation when the ultrasonic probe rotates in the disinfection chamber where the disinfectant wipes are laid, so that the disinfectant wipes can be effectively wrapped around the probe surface and in close contact with the probe surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the disinfection assembly also includes a frame, and the side of the second block away from the deformation strip is arranged on the claw; the frame includes: a plurality of arc pieces, which are embedded in the second block at intervals; a plurality of connecting rods, one end of which is arranged one-to-one on the side of the arc piece away from the deformation strip, and the other end is passed through the side wall of the accommodating groove of the first block and is connected through a fixing rod, and the fixing rod is connected to the claw.

[0013] The arc piece is a thin strip of rigid material, specifically metal or plastic, with excellent inherent deformability and elasticity. Embedded within the second block, it provides support for the flexible second block, maintaining its basic shape. Furthermore, the arc piece's inherent elasticity effectively provides counterpressure when subjected to pressure, thus applying pressure to the telescopic funnel.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the first deformable blocks is provided with a hole, and a rivet is movably inserted into the hole, and the rivet is used to fix the edge of the disinfecting wipes.

[0015] Furthermore, the deformation strip includes: a fan-shaped strip, which has a zigzag folding structure along the length of the strip, and the fan-shaped strips are connected end to end to form the basic shape of the telescopic funnel; a plurality of stop conditions, which are vertically arranged on the fan-shaped strip along the length of the strip, and the stop conditions are located on the inner side of the basic shape.

[0016] During use, the disinfectant wipes are placed on one side of the barrier. The barrier, combined with the fan-shaped strips, creates an uneven surface. When the disinfectant wipes are placed on this surface, the surface wrinkles and crevices form. As the ultrasound probe rotates within the disinfection chamber, the wrinkles on the wipes effectively clean the probe, temporarily trapping the coupling agent on the probe within these wrinkles and crevices.

[0017] Furthermore, the interior of the fan-shaped strip is a hollow structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the disinfection component also includes a monitoring module, which includes: a thin film pressure sensor, which is arranged on the arc piece or inside the fan-shaped strip, and is used to collect signals of pressure on the arc piece or fan-shaped strip; a display end, which is electrically connected to the thin film pressure sensor, and is used to process the signals collected by the thin film pressure sensor and display them.

[0019] Furthermore, the gear condition includes a first gear bar and a second gear bar, and the ratio of the width of the first gear bar to the width of the second gear bar is 1:2-3.

[0020] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided at the center of the disk body, and a mounting block is provided inside the mounting groove. The second deformation block includes: a support block, one side of which is provided with a mounting rod, and the mounting rod is provided on the mounting block; a third block, which is provided on the support block and is located on the side opposite to the mounting rod.

[0021] Furthermore, a screw hole is provided on the mounting block, and a thread corresponding to the screw hole is provided on the side wall of the mounting rod, so that the third block can be raised or lowered by screwing the mounting rod.

[0022] The present invention operates in this manner: During use, the handheld section of the ultrasound probe is first secured to a clamping assembly, employing a commercially available clamp. The jaws are then adjusted to tighten, gradually reducing the volume of the cavity structure until the disinfectant wipes contact the probe surface of the ultrasound probe. The clamping assembly and the disc are then rotated relative to each other, causing the ultrasound probe to rotate within the disinfection cavity, which is lined with the disinfectant wipes, thereby disinfecting the probe surface.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the funnel-shaped cavity structure formed by the first deformable block has a volume that changes as the clamping claws are tightened or loosened. A telescopic funnel is located within the cavity, forming a disinfection chamber with the second deformable block. This adjustable-volume disinfection chamber can better fit the surfaces of ultrasound probes of varying sizes, ensuring that the disinfectant wipes can fully contact the probe surface, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of disinfection. The disinfectant wipes are placed within the disinfection chamber. Due to the unique structure of the disinfection chamber, the disinfectant wipes can tightly wrap around the probe surface of the ultrasound probe, maximizing the disinfection function of the disinfectant wipes and completely avoiding blind spots in disinfection.

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed, or operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features; and in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0028] It should be noted that the circuit connections involved in the present invention all adopt conventional circuit connection methods and do not involve any innovation.

[0029] Example 1 like Figure 1The device shown is a medical ultrasound probe disinfection device, comprising a clamping assembly 1, a disinfection assembly 2, and a rotating base 3. The clamping assembly 1 is used to hold the handheld portion of the ultrasound probe. The disinfection assembly 2 is positioned opposite the clamping assembly 1. The rotating base 3 comprises a first base 31 and a second base 32 rotatably mounted on the first base 31. The second base 32 is driven to rotate on the first base 31 by a base drive. In this embodiment, the second base 32 is rotatably mounted on the first base 31 via a bearing. The outer ring of the second base 32 is provided with rack teeth. The base drive is a commercially available motor connected to the outer ring of the second base 32 via a transmission gear. It should be noted that the base drive can also be a hand-cranked handle.

[0030] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the disinfection assembly 2 includes a disc 21, a plurality of claws 22, a plurality of first deformable blocks 23, a deformable strip 24, a second deformable block 25, and a disinfectant wipe 26. The disc 21 is arranged on any base of the second base 32, and the clamping assembly 1 is arranged on the first base 31. The clamping assembly 1 and the disc 21 rotate relative to each other. The plurality of claws 22 are all slidably arranged on the disc 21, and the plurality of claws 22 are all driven to move back and forth by a claw driving member so as to clamp or release the claws 22. In this embodiment, there are four claws 22. The plurality of first deformable blocks 23 are arranged on the claws 22 in a one-to-one correspondence and move with the claws 22. A cavity structure is formed between the plurality of first deformable blocks 23. The cavity structure is funnel-shaped, and its volume decreases or increases as the claws 22 are clamped or released. In this embodiment, there are four first deformable blocks 23. The deformable strips 24 are connected end to end to form a telescopic funnel 240, which is mounted on the first deformable block 23 and located within the cavity. A second deformable block 25 is mounted on the disk 21, centered on the central axis of the cavity. Together, the second deformable block 25 and the telescopic funnel 240 form a disinfection chamber. Disinfectant wipes 26, made of commercially available double-chain quaternary ammonium salt, are placed within the disinfection chamber to disinfect the ultrasound probe surface.

[0031] Before use, place disinfectant wipes 26 in the disinfection chamber. During use, first secure the handheld section of the ultrasound probe to the clamping assembly 1, which utilizes a commercially available clamp. Then, by adjusting the jaws 22 in the clamping direction, the volume of the chamber structure gradually decreases until the disinfectant wipes 26 contact the probe surface of the ultrasound probe. The clamping assembly 1 and the disc 21 then rotate relative to each other, causing the ultrasound probe to rotate within the disinfection chamber, where the disinfectant wipes 26 are placed, thereby disinfecting the probe surface.

[0032] The funnel-shaped cavity structure formed by the first deformable block 23 changes its volume as the clamping jaws 22 are tightened or loosened. A telescopic funnel 240 is located within it, forming a disinfection chamber with the second deformable block 25. This adjustable disinfection chamber better accommodates ultrasound probe surfaces of varying sizes, ensuring that the disinfectant wipes 26 fully contact the probe surface, enhancing comprehensive disinfection. The disinfectant wipes 26 are placed within the disinfection chamber. Due to the chamber's unique structure, the disinfectant wipes tightly wrap around the probe surface, maximizing their disinfection effectiveness and completely eliminating blind spots.

[0033] Preferably, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the first deformation block 23 comprises a first block 231 and a second block 232. A receiving groove 2310 is provided on the side of the first block 231 near the deformation bar 24. The depth of the receiving groove 2310 ranges from 3 to 5 cm, and in this embodiment, the depth of the receiving groove 2310 is 5 cm. The second block 232 is embedded in the receiving groove 2310. The second block 232 is made of a high-performance elastomer material, which can be photodegradable resin, PVC, acrylic, silicone, etc. In this embodiment, silicone is used. The first block 231 and the second block 232 are adapted to each other, wherein the second block 232 is soft and deformable due to its own characteristics. When the ultrasonic probe is fixed on the clamping assembly 1, the claw 22 performs a clamping stroke, and the first deformable block 23 moves with the claw 22, which prompts the first block 231 and the second block 232 to move toward the side close to the ultrasonic probe until the disinfectant wipes 26 on the telescopic funnel 240 are in close contact with the probe surface. At this time, the second block 232 can continuously generate continuous pressure on the disinfectant wipes 26 on the ultrasonic probe through its own deformation when the ultrasonic probe rotates in the disinfection cavity where the disinfectant wipes 26 are laid, so that the disinfectant wipes 26 can be effectively wrapped around the probe surface and in close contact with the probe surface.

[0034] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the disinfection assembly 2 further includes a frame 27 , and the side of the second block 232 away from the deformation strip 24 is disposed on the claw 22 ; the frame 27 includes a plurality of arc pieces 271 and a plurality of connecting rods 272 .

[0035] Multiple arc pieces 271 are embedded in the second block 232 at intervals. Multiple connecting rods 272 have one end correspondingly positioned on the side of the arc piece 271 away from the deformable strip 24. The other end passes through the sidewall of the receiving slot 2310 of the first block 231 and is connected via a fixing rod 273, which is connected to the claw 22. The arc piece 271 is a thin strip of rigid material, specifically a metal strip or a plastic strip, and has good deformability and elasticity.

[0036] The arc piece 271 embedded in the second block 232 can, on the one hand, cooperate with the connecting rod 272 to support the flexible second block 232, thus maintaining the basic shape of the second block 232. On the other hand, the elasticity of the arc piece 271 can effectively provide reverse pressure when subjected to pressure, that is, apply pressure to the telescopic funnel 240, thereby ensuring that the disinfectant wipes 26 can be effectively wrapped around the probe surface and closely contact the probe surface, completely avoiding blind spots in disinfection and improving the comprehensiveness of disinfection.

[0037] Preferably, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the deformation strip 24 includes a fan-shaped strip 241 and a plurality of stop conditions 242. The fan-shaped strip 241 is a zigzag folding structure along the strip length direction. Figure 4 As shown, the fan-shaped strips 241 are connected end to end to form the base shape of the telescopic funnel 240. A plurality of retaining bars 242 are vertically arranged on the fan-shaped strips 241 along the strip length direction, and the retaining bars 242 are located on the inner side of the base shape. During use, the disinfectant wipes 26 need to be laid on one side of the retaining bars 242. Therefore, the retaining bars 242 and the fan-shaped strips 241 can provide an uneven paving surface. When the disinfectant wipes 26 are placed on the retaining bars, the surface of the disinfectant wipes 26 will wrinkle and form numerous gaps. When the ultrasonic probe rotates in the disinfection chamber, the wrinkles on the surface of the disinfectant wipes 26 can effectively clean the ultrasonic probe. The coupling agent on the ultrasonic probe can be temporarily retained in the wrinkles and gaps.

[0038] Preferably, Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the fan-shaped strip 241 have better deformation performance, the interior of the fan-shaped strip 241 is a hollow structure.

[0039] Preferably, the disinfection component 2 further includes a monitoring module, which includes a thin film pressure sensor and a display terminal.

[0040] A thin film pressure sensor is disposed on arc piece 271 or within sector bar 241 to collect pressure signals from arc piece 271 or sector bar 241. The display terminal is electrically connected to the thin film pressure sensor to process and display the signals collected by the thin film pressure sensor. In this embodiment, the thin film pressure sensor is disposed on arc piece 271 to collect pressure signals from arc piece 271.

[0041] The monitoring module can monitor the pressure and adjust the jaws 22 by pressure. For example, adjusting each jaw 22 causes the film pressure sensor in each first deformation block 23 to collect the pressure signal to ensure that the pressure value is greater than 20N.

[0042] Preferably, the stop element 242 includes a first stop bar 2421 and a second stop bar 2422, and the ratio of the width of the first stop bar 2421 to the width of the second stop bar 2422 is 1:2 to 3. In this embodiment, the ratio of the width of the first stop bar 2421 to the width of the second stop bar 2422 is 1:2. In actual use, the stop bars of different heights can be used to lay the disinfectant wipes 26 so that the surface of the disinfectant wipes 26 has relatively regular wrinkles, which can wipe off the coupling agent on the ultrasound probe and achieve cleaning.

[0043] Preferably, a mounting groove 210 is provided at the center of the disc body 21, and a mounting block 2100 is provided inside the mounting groove 210. The second deformable block 25 includes a support block 251 and a third block 252. A mounting rod 2510 is provided on one side of the support block 251, and the mounting rod 2510 is disposed on the mounting block 2100. The third block 252 is disposed on the support block 251 and is located on the side opposite to the mounting rod 2510. This connection method enhances the stability of the second deformable block 25 during the disinfection process, especially when the disinfection component 2 rotates or performs other complex movements, and can maintain the accuracy of its position. In addition, the combined design of the support block 251 and the third block 252 allows the shape and size of the disinfection chamber to be adjusted according to the specific size of the ultrasound probe. This adaptability not only improves the disinfection effect, but also ensures close contact between the disinfectant wipes 26 and the probe surface, thereby improving the thoroughness of the disinfection.

[0044] Preferably, the mounting block 2100 is provided with a screw hole, and the side wall of the mounting rod 2510 is provided with a thread corresponding to the screw hole. The third block 252 is raised or lowered by turning the mounting rod 2510. During use, the third block 252 is raised or lowered by turning the mounting rod 2510, thereby enabling the disinfectant wipes 26 supported by the third block 252 to effectively contact the ultrasound probe.

[0045] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that: Figure 7 As shown, the disc body 21 is arranged on the first base 31 , and the clamping assembly 1 is arranged on the second base 32 , and the clamping assembly 1 and the disc body 21 rotate relative to each other.

[0046] Because the first base 31 and the second base 32 rotate, regardless of which base the tray 21 is mounted on, the clamping assembly 1 can be mounted on the other base to achieve relative rotation between the clamping assembly 1 and the tray 21, thereby enabling relative movement between the ultrasonic probe on the clamping assembly 1 and the disinfecting wipes 26, thereby enabling the disinfecting wipes 26 to disinfect the ultrasonic probe. Therefore, the installation method of this embodiment can also meet the requirements of disinfection.

[0047] Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that: preferably, as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, each of the first deformable blocks 23 is provided with a hole 230, into which a rivet 2300 is movably inserted. The rivet 2300 is used to secure the edge of the disinfecting wipe 26. This is to prevent the disinfecting wipe 26 from rotating relative to the ultrasound probe due to friction during disinfection, thereby preventing the disinfecting wipe 26 from remaining relatively fixed to the ultrasound probe, which would affect the disinfection effect.

[0048] Example 4 Unlike Example 1, a thin film pressure sensor is preferably disposed within the sector bar 241 to collect signals indicating the pressure applied to the sector bar 241. The thin film pressure sensor can monitor the pressure applied to the sector bar 241, and the signals collected by the thin film pressure sensor can be used to intuitively quantify the tightness of contact between the ultrasonic probe and the disinfecting wipes 26, facilitating adjustments during use.

[0049] The specific models of the above electronic components are not particularly specified, and common products available on the market can be selected as long as they can meet the use requirements of the present invention.

[0050] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
