Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ultrasound diagnostic technology, and more specifically, it relates to a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasound probe and ultrasound equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, ultrasound technology, with its non-invasive and real-time imaging characteristics, has become a key means of clinical diagnosis and is widely used in organ examinations, obstetric monitoring, and other scenarios. In order to achieve multi-depth scanning and multi-mode imaging and adapt to the examination needs of different organs and tissues, a built-in integrated multi-functional ultrasound probe has been designed to simplify operation, improve diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, help clinicians quickly obtain comprehensive information, and promote the efficient application of ultrasound diagnostic technology in clinical practice.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as patent document CN114366158A, disclose a key technical solution: an ultrasound diagnostic probe for medical use, comprising a body, a button unit, a slider module, a pressing unit, and a detection unit. A switch button is located at the center of the upper part of the outer surface of the body, and the button unit is located at the center of the left side of the body. A connecting tube is fixedly connected to the lower end of the body, and the detection unit is magnetically connected to the upper end of the body via a first magnetic block. By providing scale lines on the pressing block, the user can monitor the pressure applied by the scale lines, thereby precisely controlling the amount of coupling agent extruded, avoiding energy waste, and improving the efficiency of the device. However, existing ultrasound diagnostic probes also have the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. In the existing technology, ultrasound examinations usually require the use of convex array probes and linear array probes, which have different functions. Frequent switching is required during the examination, which leads to interruption of the operation process and prolongs the examination time of a single case. This is especially likely to delay diagnosis and treatment in time-sensitive scenarios such as emergency rooms. At the same time, frequent switching can distract medical staff and may affect the standardization of operation, potentially impacting the accuracy of diagnosis.

[0005] 2. In the existing technology, when ultrasonic probes are idle, they are easily damaged by careless placement, collision or dropping, which can cause wear on the protective film on the probe surface, cracking of the acoustic lens, or even damage to the internal transducer components. This not only increases the equipment maintenance cost and downtime, but may also lead to diagnostic errors due to the deterioration of probe performance, posing a potential risk to the accuracy and safety of clinical examinations.

[0006] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic equipment, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present invention provides a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic device. By driving two sets of lead screws to rotate simultaneously through a drive motor, the two sets of moving blocks respectively drive the linear array probe and the convex array probe to move in opposite directions, switching between the two sets. This realizes the probe switching function of the device, eliminating the need for manual probe replacement, reducing operation steps and interruption time, improving examination efficiency to a certain extent, reducing the number of times the patient needs to adjust their position repeatedly due to probe replacement, reducing discomfort, and enhancing the continuity of operation, which helps to maintain the standardization of examination.

[0027] The present invention provides a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic device. The linear array probe or convex array probe drives the pusher to push the push plate upward, so that the push arm pushes the moving plate to move towards the probe. Then, the rubber buffer pad clamps the probe and locks the probe position. This realizes the probe locking function of the device, ensuring that the probe position is stable during the inspection process and avoiding displacement due to external force. It also ensures the clarity of imaging and the accuracy of detection to a certain extent. Moreover, no additional manual locking operation is required, which simplifies the process and improves the convenience of use.

[0028] The present invention provides a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic device. When started by a geared motor, the first rotating arm rotates, causing two sets of protective shells to close and cover the probe. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp works, thereby protecting and disinfecting the linear array probe or convex array probe. This realizes the probe protection function of the device, reduces damage caused by bumps when the probe is not in use, and reduces maintenance costs. Ultraviolet disinfection can reduce the microorganisms remaining on the probe surface and reduce the risk of cross-infection.

[0029] This invention provides a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic device. By rotating a baffle, the magnetic buckle is attracted and fixed to the iron sheet. The baffle blocks the control buttons, while the display screen content can be viewed through the observation window, thus preventing accidental touch. This achieves the anti-accidental touch function of the device, reducing parameter errors or functional abnormalities caused by accidental operation, ensuring the stability of the inspection process, and not affecting the observation of the display content, thus balancing protection and ease of operation.

[0046] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 11 As shown: This invention provides a built-in integrated multifunctional ultrasonic probe and ultrasonic device, including a lower housing 1.

[0047] The display screen 12 is installed on one side inside the lower housing 1, and the bottom of the display screen 12 is provided with control buttons 2;

[0048] The anti-accidental touch structure 3 is located inside one side of the lower housing 1 to prevent accidental touch of the control button 2 by hand;

[0049] The upper housing 10 is fixed to the top of the lower housing 1. A linear array probe 8 is installed inside the top of the upper housing 10, and a convex array probe 14 is installed at the bottom inside the upper housing 10.

[0050] The switching structure 7 is set on both sides inside the upper housing 10. The switching structure 7 includes a guide groove 701 fixed on one side inside the upper housing 10. One side of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 is fixed with a guide block 702 that is slidably connected to the guide groove 701. The other side of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 is fixed with a slide rail 706. The slide rail 706 is internally connected to a slider 707. A transmission component is provided on one side of the slider 707.

[0051] Locking structure 9 is located inside the top of the upper housing 10 and is used to lock the position of linear array probe 8 or convex array probe 14.

[0052] The protective structure 6 is located at the top of the upper housing 10 and is used to protect the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown: a storage battery 15 is fixed on one side inside the lower housing 1, a control board 4 is fixed on the side inside the lower housing 1 near the display screen 12, a wireless transmission module 5 is fixed on the bottom of the lower housing 1, a charging port 13 is fixed on the bottom of one side of the lower housing 1, and anti-slip pads 11 are fixed on both sides of the lower housing 1.

[0054] In this embodiment, medical staff send operation commands through control button 2. After the commands are processed by control board 4, relevant information is displayed on display screen 12. The patient is detected by linear array probe 8 and convex array probe 14. At the same time, the detection information is processed by control board 4 and can be wirelessly transmitted to cloud database or user equipment by wireless transmission module 5. The charging port 13 is used to replenish the power of energy storage battery 15.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The transmission assembly includes a movable block 703 fixed to one side of the slider 707. A first slide rail 705 fixedly connected to the upper housing 10 is slidably connected to one side of the movable block 703. A lead screw 704 is threadedly connected inside the movable block 703. A transmission gear 710 is fixed to the bottom end of one set of lead screws 704, and a driven gear 711 is fixed to the bottom end of the other set of lead screws 704. A reduction gearbox 708 is fixed to the bottom end inside the upper housing 10, with the output shaft end connected to the rotating end of the transmission gear 710. A drive motor 709 is installed at the bottom end of the reduction gearbox 708, with the output shaft end connected to the input shaft end of the reduction gearbox 708.

[0056] In this embodiment, the drive motor 709 simultaneously drives two sets of lead screws 704 to rotate, causing the two sets of moving blocks 703 to drive the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 to move in opposite directions respectively. When the two sets move to the trapezoidal structure in the middle section of the guide groove 701, the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 move to both sides to offset them. At the same time, the slider 707 slides laterally in the slide rail 706 to provide sufficient moving space for the offset of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14. Then the linear array probe 8 moves to the bottom of the upper housing 10, and the convex array probe 14 pops out, thereby completing the probe switching and reducing the operation steps of probe replacement to a certain extent.

[0057] like Figures 8 to 9As shown: The locking structure 9 includes a return spring 903 fixed inside both sides of the upper housing 10. A push plate 902 is fixed to the bottom end of the return spring 903. The two sides of the push plate 902 are slidably connected to a second slide rail 909 fixedly connected to the upper housing 10. A push arm 904 is rotatably connected to one side of the top of the push plate 902. A moving plate 905 is rotatably connected to one side of the push arm 904. A buffer spring 907 is fixed to one side of the moving plate 905. A partition 908 is fixed to one side of the buffer spring 907. A rubber buffer pad 906 is fixed to one side of the partition 908. Push brackets 901 are fixed to both sides of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14.

[0058] In this embodiment, the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14 drives the pusher 901 to push the push plate 902 upward, so that the push arm 904 pushes the moving plate 905 to move towards the probe. Then, the buffer spring 907 pushes the partition 908, and the rubber buffer pad 906 clamps the probe, thereby locking the probe position.

[0059] like Figures 10 to 11 As shown: The protective structure 6 includes a second rotating arm 607 rotatably connected to the top of both sides of the upper housing 10. A protective shell 601 is rotatably connected to one side of the second rotating arm 607. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 609 is fixed inside the top of the protective shell 601. A folding plate 602 connected to the upper housing 10 is fixed to the bottom of the protective shell 601. A first rotating arm 606 rotatably connected to the upper housing 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell 601. A semi-gear ring 608 is fixed to the outer side of the first rotating arm 606 away from the protective shell 601. A protective plate 605 rotatably connected to the semi-gear ring 608 is fixed to one side of the upper housing 10. A motor housing 603 is fixed to the other side of the upper housing 10. A reduction motor 604 whose output shaft end is connected to the rotating shaft of one of the first rotating arms 606 is fixed inside the motor housing 603.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first rotating arm 606 is started by the reduction motor 604 and rotates. At the same time, the first rotating arm 606 drives the other first rotating arm 606 to rotate synchronously through the meshing of two sets of half gear rings 608, so that the two sets of protective shells 601 close and cover the probe. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 609 works, thereby protecting and disinfecting the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown: The anti-accidental touch structure 3 includes a hinge seat 305 rotatably connected to one side of the lower housing 1. A baffle 301 is installed on the rotating end of the hinge seat 305. An observation window 304 is fixed at the top inside the baffle 301. A magnetic buckle 303 is fixed on the side of the baffle 301 near the lower housing 1. A finger pressure plate 302 is fixed on one side of the baffle 301. An iron sheet 306 is fixed on the side of the lower housing 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, by rotating the baffle 301, the magnetic buckle 303 is attracted and fixed to the iron sheet 306, and the baffle 301 blocks the control button 2. At the same time, the contents of the display screen 12 can be viewed through the observation window 304, thereby preventing accidental touch by hand.

[0063] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown: the slider 707 and the slide rail 706 form a horizontal sliding structure. There are two sets of lead screws 704 with opposite thread directions. The moving blocks 703 are symmetrically distributed on the horizontal center line of the lead screws 704. The guide groove 701 has two sets of non-communicating slide grooves inside, and the middle section of the slide groove has a vertical trapezoidal structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the horizontal sliding engagement of the slider 707 and the slide rail 706 provides guidance for the movement of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14. The two sets of screws 704 with opposite thread directions, in conjunction with the symmetrically distributed moving blocks 703, can drive the two sets of probes to move synchronously in opposite directions. Through the two sets of non-communicating slides of the guide groove 701 and the vertical trapezoidal structure in the middle section, it is ensured that the two probes move along a preset trajectory without interfering with each other when switching.

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown: Several sets of buffer springs 907 are provided between the moving plate 905 and the partition plate 908, and the several sets of buffer springs 907 are distributed at equal intervals between the moving plate 905 and the partition plate 908.

[0066] In this embodiment, several sets of equally spaced buffer springs 907 are arranged between the moving plate 905 and the partition plate 908, which can evenly transmit the clamping force to the rubber buffer pad 906. At the same time, the buffering effect is enhanced by the coordinated deformation of multiple sets of springs, avoiding damage to the probe caused by excessive local stress.

[0067] like Figures 10 to 11 As shown: the shape of the folding plate 602 is a plate-like structure with a wrinkled surface, and the folding plate 602 is a telescopic structure. The two adjacent sets of half-tooth rings 608 form an interlocking connection.

[0068] In this embodiment, the retractable foldable plate 602 with surface pleats extends and retracts with the opening and closing of the protective shell 601, ensuring the sealing performance of the protective structure 6. The meshing connection of adjacent half-tooth rings 608 ensures that the two sets of first rotating arms 606 rotate synchronously, so that the protective shells 601 on both sides move in unison.

[0069] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown: The linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 are both fixed with connecting contact points 16 on both sides. The rubber buffer pad 906 is fixed with a connecting contact 17 that matches the connecting contact point 16 on one side. The connecting contact 17 is electrically connected to the control board 4 through a wire.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connecting contacts 16 on both sides of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 can be precisely connected to the connecting contact 17 on one side of the rubber buffer pad 906, so that the connecting contact 17 is electrically connected to the control board 4, realizing the signal and power transmission between the probe and the control board 4, and ensuring the normal operation of the probe.

[0071] The specific usage method of the present invention is as follows: The device is powered by a built-in battery. When the device is started, the energy storage battery 15 powers the control board 4, display screen 12 and other components. Medical staff send operation commands through the control button 2. After the commands are processed by the control board 4, the relevant information is displayed on the display screen 12. The linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 are used to detect the patient. At the same time, the detection information is processed by the control board 4 and can be wirelessly transmitted to the cloud database or user equipment by the wireless transmission module 5 so that the user can view the detection information. The charging port 13 is used to replenish the energy storage battery 15. At the same time, the anti-slip pad 11 increases the grip stability, thereby ensuring the basic operation and running of the device.

[0072] When it is necessary to switch between the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14, a command is sent via control button 2 to start the drive motor 709 controlled by control board 4. Its output shaft drives the transmission gear 710 to rotate through the reduction gearbox 708. At the same time, the transmission gear 710 meshes with the driven gear 711, causing the two sets of lead screws 704 to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, the moving block 703 moves horizontally along the first slide rail 705. Since the thread directions on the surfaces of the two sets of lead screws 704 are opposite, the two sets of moving blocks 703 respectively drive the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 to move in opposite directions, and the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 are connected by a guide... The block 702 slides along the guide groove 701. When the linear array probe 8 moves down, the convex array probe 14 moves up. When the two probes move to the trapezoidal structure in the middle section of the guide groove 701, the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14 move to the sides respectively under the guidance of the guide groove 701 to offset them. At the same time, the slider 707 slides laterally in the slide rail 706 to provide sufficient moving space for the offset of the linear array probe 8 and the convex array probe 14. Then the linear array probe 8 moves to the bottom of the upper housing 10 and the convex array probe 14 pops out, thus completing the probe switching and reducing the operation steps of probe replacement to a certain extent.

[0073] When the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14 is moved into position, the pushers 901 on both sides of the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14 push the push plate 902 to move upward along the second slide rail 909, compressing the reset spring 903. Immediately afterwards, the push plate 902 drives the push arm 904 to rotate, causing the push arm 904 to push the moving plate 905 towards the probe. Then, the buffer spring 907 pushes the partition plate 908, and the rubber buffer pad 906 clamps the probe, thus locking the probe position. Simultaneously, the connecting contact head 17 contacts the connecting contact point 16, realizing the connection between the control board 4 and the probe. The electrical connection of the head is achieved by the rubber buffer pad 906, which uses its own elasticity to buffer the clamping force, preventing damage to the probe body and enhancing the tightness of the contact to ensure stable locking. The rubber buffer pad 906 can absorb the vibration generated when the probe is working through its own elastic deformation, reducing the transmission of vibration to other parts of the equipment. After the rubber buffer pad 906 clamps the probe, the buffer spring 907 can accommodate the pusher 901 to continue to move down through its own compression deformation, preventing parts from jamming or being damaged due to rigid contact, while maintaining a continuous clamping force on the probe to ensure a stable locking state.

[0074] When the probe is idle, a command is sent by operating the control button 2 to start the control board 4 to control the reduction motor 604. Then, its output shaft drives a set of first rotating arms 606 to rotate. At the same time, the first rotating arm 606 drives another set of first rotating arms 606 to rotate synchronously through the meshing of two sets of half gear rings 608. This causes the two sets of protective shells 601 to close and cover the probe. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 609 works, thereby protecting and disinfecting the linear array probe 8 or the convex array probe 14, reducing the risk of probe collision and contamination to a certain extent.

[0075] When control button 2 needs to be operated, the acupressure plate 302 pushes the baffle 301 to separate the magnetic buckle 303 from the iron plate 306. Then, the baffle 301 rotates around the hinge seat 305 to open, exposing control button 2 for operation. When no operation is needed, the baffle 301 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the magnetic buckle 303 and the iron plate 306 adhere and fix. The baffle 301 blocks control button 2, and the contents of the display screen 12 can be viewed through the observation window 304, thereby preventing accidental touch and ensuring the accuracy of operation to a certain extent.
