Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrasound imaging technology, specifically to a portable real-time ultrasound imaging device. Background Technology
[0002] Ultrasound imaging is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound waves to generate images of the internal structure of the human body. Ultrasound waves are emitted into the human body through a probe. When the sound waves encounter different tissue interfaces, they are reflected and refracted. After receiving these echo signals, the instrument processes them and converts them into real-time dynamic two-dimensional or three-dimensional images.
[0003] With the continuous advancement of the hierarchical medical system, primary healthcare institutions are undertaking more initial diagnosis and rehabilitation tasks. However, primary healthcare equipment is relatively scarce, and traditional large-scale ultrasound equipment is difficult to meet the extensive diagnostic needs of primary healthcare institutions. At this time, a portable real-time ultrasound imaging device is needed.
[0004] Currently available portable real-time ultrasound imaging devices mainly consist of an ultrasound probe, a processing unit, and a display screen. During use, the ultrasound probe is placed against the patient to perform ultrasound detection, and the results are displayed on the screen. However, due to the low-power design of the miniaturized hardware, the penetration power to deep areas is insufficient, resulting in blurry images. Existing technology uses capacitive micromechanical ultrasound transducer probes to improve image clarity; however, in actual use, the high power of the ultrasound probe causes a rapid drop in battery power after continuous use, requiring frequent charging. To solve this problem, existing technology uses large-capacity batteries to improve the device's battery life; however, this method increases the device's weight, reducing its practicality and failing to meet user needs.

A push rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable block, and the left end of the push rod passes through the fixed base.
[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a driven bevel gear, which is fixedly connected to the upper outer part of the threaded rod. A transmission rod is rotatably connected to the upper left part of the housing. The right end of the transmission rod passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the transmission rod drives the active bevel gear to rotate, and through the meshing transmission between the active and driven bevel gears, the threaded rod rotates, thereby pushing the slider to move. The slider, through the support rod, pushes the connecting block to move, causing the display screen to rotate. By adjusting the angle of the display screen, medical staff can use the device from different directions, thus improving the ease of use of the device.
[0020] 3. This invention limits the rotation of the rotating rod by the cooperation of the pawl and the ratchet, so that the strap will not stretch accidentally when moving. The pawl is rotated by the lever, so that the pawl disengages from the ratchet, thereby allowing the length of the strap to be adjusted as needed. The rotating rod can also drive the take-up roller to rotate and retract the strap, making it convenient for workers to use the device and improving its functionality. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides a portable real-time ultrasound imaging device, including a housing 1. The top of the housing 1 is provided with a disassembly mechanism 2, which is used to improve portability. The front side of the housing 1 is provided with a rotating mechanism 3, which is used to facilitate medical staff to use it from different angles. The outer side of the housing 1 is provided with a winding mechanism 4, which is used to facilitate medical staff to carry it.
[0032] The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a fixed base 21, which is located on the top of the housing 1. Fixed rods 22 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the interior of the fixed base 21. Movable plates 23 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the outer walls of the fixed rods 22, allowing them to slide outside the fixed rods 22. A locking block 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable plate 23, causing the movable plate 23 to move the locking block 24. An ultrasonic probe 210 is located on the top left side of the housing 1. Slots 25 are provided on the front and rear right sides of the ultrasonic probe 210. The locking block 24 engages with the slots 25 to fix the ultrasonic probe 210. A control component 28 is located on the left side of the interior of the fixed base 21. The control component 28 includes connecting rods 281 and multiple connecting rods. 281 is rotatably connected to the upper and lower left sides of the corresponding movable plate 23. Movable blocks 282 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the left side of the interior of the fixed base 21. The left end of the connecting rod 281 is rotatably connected to the movable block 282. The movable block 282 can push the movable plate 23 to move through the connecting rod 281. A push rod 283 is fixedly connected to the left side of the movable block 282. The left end of the push rod 283 passes through the fixed base 21. The push rod 283 can drive the movable block 282 to move. The disassembly mechanism 2 also includes a tension spring 26. The tension spring 26 is located in the middle of the outer side of the fixed rod 22. The front and rear ends of the tension spring 26 are fixedly connected to the corresponding movable plate 23. The tension spring 26 can keep the locking block 24 engaged with the locking groove 25.
[0033] Specifically, when using this device on patients with different lesion depths, pressing the push rods 283 on both sides moves the movable block 282. The movement of the movable block 282, through the connecting rod 281, can push the movable plates 23 on both sides to move, causing the locking block 24 to disengage from the locking slot 25, thus allowing the ultrasound probe 210 to be pulled out. This makes the replacement of the ultrasound probe 210 more convenient and efficient. Depending on the lesion depth, a lower power ultrasound probe 210 can be selected. This selection not only meets the treatment needs but also significantly extends the usage time of the device, improving its practicality and meeting the user's needs.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The rotating mechanism 3 includes a display screen 31, which is rotatably connected to the top front side of the housing 1. A groove 32 is formed in the center of the front side of the housing 1. A threaded rod 33 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the groove 32, and a slider 34 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 33. Rotation of the threaded rod 33 can push the slider 34 to move. A support rod 35 is rotatably connected to the front side of the slider 34, and a connecting block 36 is rotatably connected to the top of the support rod 35. The slider 34 can push the connecting block 36 to move via the support rod 35. The front side of the connecting block 36 is fixedly connected to the display screen 31. A drive assembly 37 is provided on the upper inner side of the groove 32. The drive assembly 37 includes a driven bevel gear 371, which is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the threaded rod 33. A transmission rod 372 is rotatably connected to the upper left side of the housing 1. The right end of the transmission rod 372 passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a drive bevel gear 373. The transmission rod 372 will drive the drive bevel gear 373 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 373 meshes with the driven bevel gear 371. When the drive bevel gear 373 rotates, the driven bevel gear 371 will push the threaded rod 33 to rotate.
[0035] Specifically, during use, when the angle of the display screen 31 needs to be adjusted, the transmission rod 372 is rotated. The rotation of the transmission rod 372 drives the active bevel gear 373 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the active bevel gear 373 and the driven bevel gear 371, the threaded rod 33 also begins to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 33 pushes the slider 34 to move along the groove 32. The movement of the slider 34 further pushes the connecting block 36 to move through the support rod 35. Since the top of the display screen 31 is connected to the housing 1 through the connecting block 36, the movement of the connecting block 36 drives the display screen 31 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the display screen 31. This allows medical staff to conveniently use the device from multiple different directions, improving the ease of use of the device.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The winding mechanism 4 includes a hollow block 41, which is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the housing 1. A rotating rod 42 is rotatably connected to the middle inner side of the hollow block 41. The rear end of the rotating rod 42 passes through the hollow block 41. A winding roller 43 is fixedly connected to the middle outer side of the rotating rod 42. The rotating rod 42 drives the winding roller 43 to rotate. A shoulder strap 44 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the winding roller 43. The left end of the shoulder strap 44 passes through the hollow block 41 and is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing 1. The shoulder strap 44 facilitates the movement of the device by the operator. A ratchet 45 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the rotating rod 42. The front end of the inner wall of the hollow block 41 is... A pawl 46 is rotatably connected to the side, and the pawl 46 is engaged with the ratchet 45. The pawl 46 can limit the ratchet 45. A thrust spring 47 is fixedly connected to the left side of the pawl 46. The bottom end of the thrust spring 47 is fixedly connected to the hollow block 41. The thrust spring 47 can push the pawl 46 to engage with the ratchet 45. A toggle assembly 48 is provided on the front side of the pawl 46. The toggle assembly 48 includes a lever 481. The lever 481 is fixedly connected to the front side of the pawl 46. A through groove 482 is opened on the front side of the hollow block 41. The front end of the lever 481 passes through the through groove 482. The lever 481 will drive the pawl 46 to rotate.
[0037] Specifically, when the device needs to be moved, the lever 481 is activated, which drives the pawl 46 to rotate. As the pawl 46 rotates, it disengages from the ratchet 45, thereby releasing the restriction of the rotating rod 42 connected to the ratchet 45. Thus, the rotating rod 42 can rotate, and the operator can then pull the shoulder strap 44, which is pulled out of the take-up roller 43. This allows the device to be moved more conveniently via the shoulder strap 44. When the device does not need to be moved, the rotating lever 42 is rotated, which drives the take-up roller 43 to rotate as well. As the take-up roller 43 rotates, the shoulder strap 44 is wound up, making it easier for the operator to use the device and improving its functionality.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The disassembly mechanism 2 also includes a connecting line 27, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed base 21. The right end of the connecting line 27 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A buckle 29 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the housing 1. The buckle 29 engages with the fixed base 21, and the fixed base 21 can be fixed by the buckle 29.
[0039] Specifically, the mounting base 21 can be connected to the mounting base 21 via the connecting line 27, and the mounting base 21 can be fixed by the buckle 29.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6Connecting seats 38 are fixedly connected to the front bottom and left and right sides of the housing 1. Control panel 39 is rotatably connected to the front of the connecting seat 38. Control panel 39 can control the operation of ultrasonic probe 210.
[0041] Specifically, the control panel 39 can be rotated, and the control panel 39 can control the operation of the ultrasonic probe 210.
[0042] Working principle: When using this device on patients with different lesion depths, press the push rods 283 on both sides. The push rods 283 will drive the movable block 282 to move. When the movable block 282 moves, it can push the movable plates 23 on both sides to move through the connecting rod 281, thereby causing the locking block 24 to disengage from the locking slot 25. At this time, the ultrasound probe 210 can be pulled out, making it easier to replace the ultrasound probe 210. When the lesion depth is shallow, a lower power ultrasound probe 210 can be used, which can greatly extend the service life of the device.
[0043] Furthermore, during the use of this device, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the display screen 31, the transmission rod 372 is rotated, which drives the active bevel gear 373 to rotate. Since the active bevel gear 373 meshes with the driven bevel gear 371, when the active bevel gear 373 rotates, the driven bevel gear 371 will drive the threaded rod 33 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 33 will push the slider 34 to move. When the slider 34 moves, it will push the connecting block 36 to move through the support rod 35. Since the top of the display screen 31 is connected to the housing 1, the movement of the connecting block 36 will push the display screen 31 to rotate, which can adjust the angle of the display screen 31, thus making it convenient for medical staff to use the device from different directions.
[0044] Finally, when the device needs to be moved, the lever 481 is activated, which drives the pawl 46 to rotate, disengaging the pawl 46 from the ratchet 45. This releases the limiting position on the rotating rod 42 connected to the ratchet 45, allowing the rotating rod 42 to rotate. At this time, pulling the shoulder strap 44 will extend the shoulder strap 44 on the take-up roller 43, making it easier to move the device. When movement is not required, rotating the rotating lever 42 will drive the take-up roller 43 to rotate, thereby retracting the shoulder strap 44 for easy use by the staff.
