Description

Carcinoma regions often appear blue or blue-green due to increased cell density, which contrasts with the green color of benign lesions such as polyps and myomas. Studies have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of endometrial carcinoma diagnosis significantly improve after combining elastography, especially in the detection rate of early micro lesions, which is superior to simple ultrasound examination.

[0019] The technical solutions of 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.

[0020] Example 1 like Figures 1-9 As shown, a transvaginal examination device for endometrial cancer includes an ultrasound machine 1, an ultrasound probe 7 at the front end of the ultrasound machine 1, a cleaning box 2 fixedly connected to one side of the ultrasound machine 1, a fixing mechanism fixedly connected inside the cleaning box 2, a cleaning tube 20 fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box 2, a nozzle 17 rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning tube 20, a turbine 21 rotatably connected inside the cleaning tube 20, the nozzle 17 fixedly connected to the turbine 21, a third gear 22 fixedly connected to the side of the turbine 21 away from the nozzle 17, a fourth gear 23 meshing with the third gear 22, a first transmission wheel 24 fixedly connected to the fourth gear 23, a transmission belt 25 drivingly connected to the first transmission wheel 24, a second transmission wheel 26 drivingly connected to the transmission belt 25, a second eccentric shaft 27 fixedly connected to the second transmission wheel 26, a second connecting plate 28 rotatably connected to the second eccentric shaft 27, a vibration rod 29 rotatably connected to the second connecting plate 28, and a sliding connection between the vibration rod 29 and the cleaning box 2.

[0021] After the ultrasonic probe 7 completes the examination, the fixing mechanism arranged in the cleaning box 2 completes the fixing of the ultrasonic probe 7, and then the water mist is sprayed to the surface of the ultrasonic probe 7 through the cleaning pipe 20. The water flow drives the turbine 21 to rotate during the process of passing through the cleaning pipe 20. The rotation of the turbine 21 drives the nozzle 17 to rotate, so that the water flow is sprayed in the form of water mist, thereby guaranteeing the covering effect of the water flow. While the nozzle 17 rotates, the turbine 21 drives the third gear 22 to rotate, and the third gear 22 drives the second eccentric shaft 27 to rotate, and then drives the vibration rod 29 to reciprocate, thereby reciprocating the fixed mechanism, so that the ultrasonic probe 7 vibrates and shakes off the attached water droplets. The bottom of the cleaning box 2 is provided with an air pump, and the output end of the air pump is provided with a movable plate. The movable plate can be driven to move up and down by the air pump. The surface of the vibration rod 29 is provided with a rubber head, which can effectively prevent the vibration rod 29 from damaging the fixed frame 18 during the beating process.

[0022] The fixing mechanism comprises a fixed frame 18 fixedly connected in the cleaning box 2. The upper portion of the fixed frame 18 is fixedly connected with a fixed shell 30. The fixed shell 30 is internally provided with a fourth motor 32. The output end of the fourth motor 32 is provided with a fixed assembly. The contact surface of the fixed clamp 19 and the ultrasonic probe 7 is provided with a pad. The fixed assembly comprises a fifth gear 33 provided at the output end of the fourth motor 32. The fifth gear 33 is engagedly connected with a transmission rack 31. One side of the transmission rack 31 is fixedly connected with the fixed clamp 19. The inside of the fixed shell 30 is fixedly connected with a limiting groove 34. The transmission rack 31 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 34.

[0023] In the embodiment, the ultrasonic probe 7 is modularly designed and can be disassembled and replaced. After the examination is completed, the ultrasonic probe 7 is placed in the middle position between the fixed frame 18 and the fixed clamp 19. Then the fourth motor 32 is started to drive the fifth gear 33 to rotate. The rotation of the fifth gear 33 drives the engaged transmission rack 31 to move. The limiting groove 34 slidably connected with the transmission rack 31 can guarantee the stability of the transmission rack 31 during the movement. The movement of the transmission rack 31 can drive the fixed clamp 19 to move, thereby fixing the ultrasonic probe 7 and effectively guaranteeing the stability of the ultrasonic probe 7 during the cleaning process. After the fixing is completed, water flow can be pumped into the inside of the cleaning pipe 20. The water flow passing through the cleaning pipe 20 can drive the turbine 21 to rotate. The rotation of the turbine 21 can drive the nozzle 17 to rotate. The water flow passes through the small nozzle of the nozzle at high speed under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the nozzle, thereby being sprayed in the form of water mist, and the effective range of the water flow is effectively improved.

[0024] While the nozzle 17 rotates, it also drives the third gear 22 to rotate. The rotation of the third gear 22 drives the meshing fourth gear 23 to rotate. The rotation of the fourth gear 23 drives the fixedly connected first transmission wheel 24 to rotate. The rotation of the first transmission wheel 24 drives the second transmission wheel 26, which is connected by the transmission belt 25, to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission wheel 26 drives the fixedly connected second eccentric shaft 27 to rotate. The rotation of the second eccentric shaft 27 drives the rotatably connected second connecting plate 28 to rotate. The rotation of the second connecting plate 28 drives the rotatably connected vibrating rod 29 to move back and forth. Thus, during the water spraying process, the high-frequency beating vibrating rod 29 drives the ultrasonic probe 7 to vibrate. The high-speed vibration effectively shakes off the attached water droplets. The rotating spray nozzle 17 ensures that the water mist covers the probe gaps, solving the problem of blind spots in traditional cleaning.

A telescopic housing 5 is fixedly connected to the second gear 10. A second motor 11 is provided inside the telescopic housing 5. A first threaded rod 12 is provided at the output end of the second motor 11. A telescopic rod 13 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 12. An adjustment housing 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic rod 13.

[0026] The adjustment housing 6 is equipped with a third motor 14. The output end of the third motor 14 is equipped with a first eccentric shaft 15. The first eccentric shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the adjustment housing 6. The first eccentric shaft 15 is slidably connected to a first connecting plate 16. The first connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to an ultrasound probe 7. The upper part of the ultrasound probe 7 integrates an elastic imaging module to detect the difference in tissue elasticity coefficient and quantify hardness, thereby assisting in the identification of benign and malignant endometrial lesions.

[0027] In the embodiment, the first threaded rod 12 is driven to rotate by starting the second motor 11 in the detection process, the first threaded rod 12 drives the threaded connecting telescopic rod 13 to move, and the telescopic rod 13 drives the ultrasonic probe 7 to move forward and backward, so as to adjust the length of the probe into the vagina, which is helpful to match the individual differences of patients. The first eccentric shaft 15 is driven to rotate by starting the third motor 14, the first eccentric shaft 15 drives the reciprocating first connecting plate 16 to rotate, and then drives the fixed ultrasonic probe 7 to swing. When the ultrasonic probe 7 swings, the first gear 9 is driven to rotate by starting the first motor 8, the first gear 9 drives the meshing second gear 10 to rotate, and then drives the ultrasonic probe 7 to rotate. The ultrasonic probe 7 can be rotated at multiple angles in the coronal plane and the sagittal plane by the combination of rotation and swing, so as to adapt to different uterine positions.
