Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an ultrasound probe placement structure. Background Technology

[0002] Medical equipment refers to instruments, devices, appliances, materials, or other articles used alone or in combination on the human body, including the necessary software. Medical equipment is a fundamental element of medical, research, teaching, institutional, and clinical work, encompassing both specialized and home medical devices. Currently, medical equipment is broadly categorized into three main types: diagnostic equipment, therapeutic equipment, and auxiliary equipment.

[0003] Ultrasound diagnostic equipment, as a type of diagnostic medical device, is widely used in the field of gastroenterology. It applies ultrasound detection technology to the human body, measuring and understanding physiological or tissue structure data and morphology to detect and indicate diseases. The core component of ultrasound diagnostic equipment is the ultrasound probe; therefore, the storage and management of the ultrasound probe directly affects the efficiency of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment and the lifespan of the ultrasound probe.

[0004] Currently, ultrasound probes are typically placed haphazardly on operating tables or suspended from supports, lacking specialized protection and management measures. With the increasing intelligence and sophistication of medical equipment, higher demands are being placed on the storage and management of ultrasound probes, necessitating an efficient and safe solution for their placement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides an ultrasound probe placement structure that facilitates medical personnel in placing and removing ultrasound probes while effectively ensuring the safety of ultrasound probe placement.

[0006] This application provides an ultrasonic probe placement structure, which adopts the following technical solution: An ultrasonic probe placement structure includes a fixed base, a movable base, a positioning device, a protective device, and a control device; The fixed base has a placement space for placing the ultrasonic probe; the movable base is movably connected to the fixed base in the horizontal direction and can move in and out of the placement space. One end of the movable seat is provided with a positioning space for positioning the ultrasonic probe. The positioning device is disposed on the movable seat and located in the positioning space. The positioning device includes two elastic airbags, and the two airbags are used to clamp the ultrasonic probe so that its head is placed vertically upward. The protective device includes a fixing member; the fixing member is disposed on the fixing base, and a protective space for protecting the ultrasonic probe is formed on the side of the fixing member near the fixing base. The protective space is located above the placement space and communicates with the placement space. The control device includes a control panel and a drive component; the control panel is mounted on the fixed base and is used to control the drive component; the drive component is mounted on the fixed base and is used to drive the movable base to move.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the ultrasound probe is positioned by interference fit with two airbags, the movable seat can be moved by the control panel to move the ultrasound probe into the placement space. At the same time, a protective device will form a protective barrier above the ultrasound probe. When the ultrasound probe needs to be retrieved, the control panel can be operated to move the movable seat to deliver the ultrasound probe. This facilitates the retrieval and placement of the ultrasound probe by medical personnel, effectively reduces the probability of collision during the placement of the ultrasound probe, reduces the probability of impurities falling onto the surface of the ultrasound probe, and effectively reduces the probability of the ultrasound probe being accidentally dropped by medical personnel, thus effectively ensuring the safety and stability of the ultrasound probe placement.

[0008] Optionally, the protective device further includes a movable component; the movable component is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and its rotation axis is vertical; When the movable part rotates to its limit position in the direction closer to the fixed part, it retracts into the interior of the fixed part; when the movable part rotates to its limit position in the direction away from the fixed part, it and the fixed part together form a larger protective space and are used to cover the upper part of the placement space.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the movable part can change the protection range of the protective device for the ultrasonic probe placed in the placement space, thereby changing the protection effect and further improving the safety of ultrasonic probe placement.

[0010] Optionally, the control device includes a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly is disposed inside the fixed base; The transmission assembly includes a driving gear and a first driven gear; the driving gear and the first driven gear are coaxial, and the driving gear is rotatably connected to the fixed seat with the rotation axis being vertical; the movable seat has a rack structure for meshing with the driving gear, and the movable part has a rack structure for meshing with the first driven gear; during the process of the movable seat moving into the placement space, the transmission assembly drives the movable part to rotate away from the fixed part.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, medical personnel can control the movable seat to move into the placement space through the control panel. During this process, the transmission component can drive the protective device to gradually expand its protection range for the ultrasound probe, making the protection effect of the protective device strongest when the ultrasound probe is placed in the placement space, and also reducing the difficulty of operation for medical personnel.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a limiting device for limiting the cable of the ultrasonic probe, and the limiting device is disposed below the fixing base; The limiting device includes a fixed claw and a movable claw; the movable claw is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and its rotation axis is vertical; one side of the fixed claw forms a limiting space below the placement space; when the movable claw rotates to its limit position in a direction away from the fixed claw, the fixed claw and the movable claw together close the limiting space in the horizontal direction.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting device can limit the position of the ultrasound probe cable, thereby improving the stability of the cable below the ultrasound probe after it is placed. This reduces the probability that the stability of the ultrasound probe will be affected by the cable being pulled during other operations by medical personnel.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission assembly further includes a second driven gear coaxial with the driving gear; The movable claw has a rack structure for meshing with the second driven gear. As the movable seat moves into the placement space, the transmission assembly drives the movable claw to rotate away from the fixed claw.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, medical personnel can control the movable seat to move into the placement space through the control panel, and the transmission component can drive the limiting device to limit the cable of the ultrasound probe. This ensures that the cable of the ultrasound probe is fully restricted in the horizontal direction when it is placed in the placement space, and further reduces the difficulty of operation for medical personnel.

[0016] Optionally, the positioning device further includes two sliding members, two elastic members, and two squeezing members that correspond one-to-one with the two airbags; The sliding member is slidably connected to the movable seat in the vertical direction, and the airbag is disposed on the corresponding sliding member; the two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the movable seat and the sliding member, and it has the tendency to drive the sliding member to slide upward to the limit position and hold it; the squeezing member is disposed on the side wall of the positioning space and is used to squeeze the corresponding airbag, and the squeezing degree of its bottom on the airbag is greater than the squeezing degree of its top on the airbag.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after medical personnel position the ultrasound probe on the positioning device, the sliding component will slide downward under the gravity of the ultrasound probe, which will intensify the compression of the airbag by the squeezing component, thereby further improving the positioning effect of the ultrasound probe on the positioning device. When medical personnel need to remove the ultrasound probe, they need to control the ultrasound probe to move upward first to drive the sliding component to slide upward before it can be easily removed. This can reduce the probability of the ultrasound probe falling due to accidental contact after placement, and can also guide medical personnel to hold the ultrasound probe firmly before removing it.

[0018] Optionally, the extruder is used to extrude the end of the airbag away from the slider.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the extruder can squeeze the airbags so that the two airbags can surround the ultrasonic probe, thereby further improving the positioning effect of the ultrasonic probe on the positioning device, and reducing the probability of the ultrasonic probe detaching from the clamping positioning between the two airbags after being subjected to force.

[0020] Optionally, the protective device further includes a disinfection component; The disinfection assembly includes a medicine box for storing disinfectant and an atomizer; the medicine box is disposed on the fixing member, and the two ends of the atomizer are respectively connected to the medicine box and the protective space, and the atomizer is controlled by the control panel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, during the protection process of the ultrasound probe by the protection device, medical personnel can control the disinfection component through the control panel as needed to disinfect the head of the ultrasound probe (i.e., the location of the chip), reducing the corrosive effect of body fluids and other substances on the chip, while also facilitating the subsequent use of the ultrasound probe.

[0022] Optionally, the protective device may further include a drying component; The drying assembly includes a fan; the fan is mounted on the fixing member and communicates with the protective space.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, during the protection process of the ultrasound probe by the protection device, medical personnel can control the drying component through the control panel as needed to dry the head of the ultrasound probe (i.e., the location of the chip), further reducing the corrosive effect of body fluids and other substances on the chip, and at the same time removing excess disinfectant to reduce the corrosive effect of excessive disinfectant on the chip.

[0024] Optionally, the control panel is located at the bottom of the mounting base.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the probability of medical personnel accidentally touching the control panel can be reduced, thereby improving the safety of the control device during use.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. While facilitating the handling and placement of ultrasound probes by medical personnel, it can effectively reduce the probability of the ultrasound probes being bumped during placement and reduce the probability of impurities falling onto the surface of the ultrasound probes. 2. It can effectively reduce the probability of medical personnel accidentally touching the ultrasound probe and causing it to fall, and effectively ensure the safety and stability of the ultrasound probe placement; 3. During placement, the crystal on the head of the ultrasonic probe is effectively protected, reducing the probability of it being affected by impacts, corrosion, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This application discloses an ultrasound probe placement structure for placing an ultrasound probe 1, facilitating medical personnel to place and retrieve the ultrasound probe 1 as needed. In this embodiment, the ultrasound probe placement structure is preferably part of an ultrasound diagnostic device; in other embodiments, the ultrasound probe placement structure may also be an independent part, allowing medical personnel to fix and install the ultrasound probe placement structure in a designated location in a medical setting as needed via a detachable structure. Since both of the above methods are common prior art, they will not be described in detail here, and their representation is omitted in the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The ultrasonic probe 1 has a head-heavy structure. Its head contains a key component (i.e., a wafer 11) for ultrasonic detection, while its body is cylindrical. A cable 12 for power supply and data transmission is connected to the end of the body furthest from the head. The ultrasonic probe 1 is placed with its head facing upwards and its body axis vertical to ensure safety during placement. In this embodiment, since the ultrasonic probe 1 is prior art, it will not be described in detail here, and the accompanying drawings only provide a brief representation.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The ultrasonic probe placement structure includes a fixed base 2, a movable base 3, a positioning device 4, a protection device 5, a control device 7, and a limiting device 6.

[0033] The mounting base 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure. It is fixedly installed on the body of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment in a horizontal position along its length. At the end away from the body of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment, there is a placement space 21 for placing the ultrasound probe 1. The placement space 21 extends vertically through both ends of the mounting base 2 to form an opening, and extends through the mounting base 2 in the direction away from the ultrasound diagnostic equipment to form an opening for the ultrasound probe 1 to enter and exit.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The movable seat 3 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure and is movably mounted on the fixed seat 2. Its direction of movement is parallel to both its own length and the length of the fixed seat 2. During the movement of the movable seat 3 relative to the fixed seat 2, the end of the movable seat 3 away from the fixed seat 2 can enter and exit the placement space 21. The end of the movable seat 3 away from the fixed seat 2 has a positioning space 31 for positioning the ultrasonic probe 1. The positioning space 31 extends vertically through both ends of the movable seat 3 to form an opening, and extends through the movable seat 3 in the direction away from the fixed seat 2 to form an opening for the ultrasonic probe 1 to enter and exit. When the movable seat 3 moves to its limit position in the direction closer to the fixed seat 2, the positioning space 31 communicates with the placement space 21.

[0035] The positioning device 4 is installed on the movable seat 3 and located in the positioning space 31. It includes two airbags 42, two sliding members 41, two elastic members 43 and two squeezing members 44 that correspond to each other. The two airbags 42, two sliding members 41, two elastic members 43 and two squeezing members 44 are symmetrically distributed in the positioning space 31 along the width direction of the movable seat 3.

[0036] The sliding member 41 is installed in the corner of the positioning space 31 near the fixed seat 2. It is slidably connected to the movable seat 3 in the vertical direction and remains in the positioning space 31 during the sliding process.

[0037] The airbag 42 has a rectangular parallelepiped structure with an internal cavity and a certain degree of elasticity. One end of the airbag 42 is fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding member 41 along its length, and it is located on the side of the sliding member 41 away from the fixed base 2. When the ultrasonic probe 1 is positioned in the positioning space 31, its body will be inserted between the two airbags 42 in an interference fit, and its head will be located above the movable base 3 (i.e., outside the positioning space 31). In this embodiment, the airbag 42 is preferably made of rubber material.

[0038] The elastic element 43 is installed inside the movable seat 3, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding element 41 and the movable seat 3, respectively. It has the tendency to drive the sliding element 41 to move upward relative to the movable seat 3 to its limit position and hold it there. In this embodiment, the elastic element 43 is preferably a tension spring.

[0039] The extrusion member 44 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the positioning space 31. It is used to extrude the corresponding airbag 42 away from the corresponding sliding member 41 to cause it to undergo elastic deformation. It is located on the side of the corresponding airbag 42 away from the other airbag 42. The distance between the two extrusion members 44 gradually decreases in the vertical downward direction, so that as the airbag 42 moves downward with the corresponding sliding member 41, the degree of extrusion of the corresponding extrusion member 44 on the airbag 42 gradually increases.

[0040] When the ultrasound probe 1 is not positioned on the positioning device 4, the sliding member 41 will remain in the state of sliding upward to the limit position under the action of the corresponding elastic member 43. At this time, the airbag 42 is squeezed by the squeezing member 44 at the weakest, which makes it easier for medical personnel to position the ultrasound probe 1 on the positioning device 4.

[0041] After the ultrasound probe 1 is positioned on the positioning device 4, the gravity of the ultrasound probe 1 will drive the sliding member 41 to slide downward to the limit position and hold it against the force of the corresponding elastic member 43. At this time, the airbag 42 is squeezed by the compression member 44 to the strongest effect. After the end of the airbag 42 away from the sliding member 41 undergoes a large elastic deformation, the two airbags 42 can jointly protect the body of the ultrasound probe 1, improving the positioning effect of the ultrasound probe 1. Moreover, if the medical personnel need to remove the ultrasound probe 1 at this time, it is more difficult to overcome the resistance of the airbag 42 if the ultrasound probe 1 is moved directly in the horizontal direction to leave the positioning space 31. It is more effortless to first control the ultrasound probe 1 to move upward and drive the sliding member 41 to slide upward, so that the positioning effect of the airbag 42 on the ultrasound probe 1 is weakened, and then move the ultrasound probe 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Depending on the usage, the ultrasound probe placement structure has two different ways of placing the ultrasound probe 1: when the medical personnel only need to place the ultrasound probe 1 temporarily, the movable seat 3 can be moved to its limit position away from the fixed seat 2 to meet the placement requirements, and the medical personnel can easily access the ultrasound probe 1 at any time; when the medical personnel need to place the ultrasound probe 1 for a long time, the movable seat 3 can be moved to its limit position towards the fixed seat 2 to meet the placement requirements, and the ultrasound probe 1 can be more fully protected in the placement space 21, further reducing the probability of it being bumped or touched.

[0043] The protective device 5 is used to protect the head of the ultrasonic probe 1 placed in the placement space 21. It is installed on the top of the fixing base 2 and includes a fixing member 51, a movable member 52, a disinfection component 54 and a drying component 55.

[0044] The fixing member 51 has an overall arc-shaped shell structure, which is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing base 2, and a protective space 53 is formed on the side of it near the placement space 21 to protect the head of the ultrasound probe 1; the protective space 53 is located above the placement space 21 and communicates with the placement space 21. When the ultrasound probe 1 is placed in the placement space 21, its head is located in the protective space 53; the fixing member 51 is symmetrically distributed on the fixing base 2 relative to the direction of movement of the movable base 3, and at this time, the side of the protective space 53 away from the body of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment has an opening for the head of the ultrasound probe 1 to enter and exit.

[0045] The movable component 52 also has an arc-shaped shell structure, which is movably mounted on the fixed base 2 and can enter and exit the internal space of the fixed component 51 during its movement. When the movable component 52 moves towards the fixed component 51 to its limit position, the movable component 52 will be completely located in the internal space of the fixed component 51. As the movable component 52 moves away from the fixed component 51, the protective space 53 will be formed by the movable component 52 and the fixed component 51, and the coverage area of ​​the protective space 53 gradually increases vertically downward. When the movable component 52 moves away from the fixed component 51 to its limit position, the movable component 52 and the fixed component 51 will jointly form a horizontally closed protective space 53 with an opening at the bottom, at which time the protection effect on the head of the ultrasonic probe 1 is optimal. In this embodiment, preferably, the internal space of the fixed component 51 has an opening at one end for the movable component 52 to enter and exit.

[0046] The disinfection assembly 54 is mounted on the fixture 51 and is used to disinfect the head of the ultrasonic probe 1. It includes a medicine box 541 and an atomizer 542.

[0047] The medicine box 541 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing member 51 and located on the side of the fixing member 51 opposite to the protective space 53. It contains a certain amount of disinfectant solution for disinfecting the ultrasonic probe 1 chip 11. The atomizer 542 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing member 51 and located on the top of the protective space 53. One end of the atomizer passes through the fixing member 51 and is connected to the medicine box 541, while the other end communicates with the protective space 53. It is used to atomize the disinfectant solution and spray it downwards. In this embodiment, since the atomizer 542 with the above functions is common prior art, it will not be described in detail here, and it is only briefly shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0048] The drying assembly 55 is mounted on the fixture 51 and is used to dry the head of the ultrasonic probe 1. It includes a fan 551 and a distribution duct 552.

[0049] The fan 551 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing member 51 and located on the side of the fixing member 51 away from the protective space 53, and is located on one side of the medicine box 541; the air distribution duct 552 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing member 51 and located on the top of the protective space 53, located on one side of the atomizer 542, one end of which passes through the fixing member 51 and is connected to the fan 551, and the other end forms multiple downward air outlets in the protective space 53, which are used to filter the outside air and blow it into the protective space 53 and blow it to the head of the ultrasonic probe 1 located in the protective space 53. In this embodiment, since the fan 551 and the air distribution duct 552 with the above functions are common prior art, they will not be described in detail here, and they are only briefly shown in the drawings.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting device 6 is installed at the bottom of the fixing base 2 and located below the fixing base 2. It is used to limit the position of the cable 12, thereby reducing the probability that the ultrasonic probe 1 will be pulled or even fall off due to the cable 12 being pulled after it is placed.

[0051] The limiting device 6 includes a fixed claw 61 and a movable claw 62. Both the fixed claw 61 and the movable claw 62 have an arc structure and are installed in a vertical position with their own arc trajectory axis. The arc opening of the fixed claw 61 faces away from the body of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment, and the fixed claw 61 forms a limiting space 63 on the side away from the body of the ultrasound diagnostic equipment to limit the horizontal movement of the cable 12. The limiting space 63 is located below the placement space 21 and is aligned with the placement space 21 in the vertical direction.

[0052] The movable claw 62 is movably connected to the fixed claw 61, and can enter and exit the internal space of the fixed claw 61 during its movement. When the movable claw 62 moves towards the fixed claw 61 to its limit position, the movable claw 62 will be completely located within the internal space of the fixed claw 61. During the movement of the movable claw 62 away from the fixed claw 61, the limiting space 63 will be formed by the movable claw 62 and the fixed claw 61, and the limiting range of the limiting space 63 on the cable 12 in the horizontal direction will gradually increase. When the movable claw 62 moves away from the fixed claw 61 to its limit position, the movable claw 62 and the fixed claw 61 will jointly enclose a horizontally closed and vertically continuous limiting space 63, at which point the limiting effect on the cable 12 is optimal, restricting the cable 12 to move only within the limiting space 63. In this embodiment, preferably, the internal space of the fixed claw 61 has an opening at one end for the movable claw 62 to enter and exit.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The control device 7 is mounted on the fixed base 2 and includes a control panel 71, a drive component 72 and a transmission assembly 73.

[0054] The drive component 72 is fixedly installed inside the fixed base 2, and it is used to drive the movable base 3 to move relative to the fixed base 2. In this embodiment, the drive component 72 is preferably a servo cylinder; since servo cylinders are common prior art, they will not be described in detail here, and are only briefly shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0055] The control panel 71 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base 2 and located between the movable base 3 and the fixed claw 61. It is used by medical personnel to control the drive unit 72, the disinfection component 54 and the drying component 55.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4Each time a medical professional controls the drive unit 72 via the control panel 71, the drive unit 72 can drive the movable seat 3 to move from one extreme position to another relative to the fixed seat 2. When the medical professional controls the disinfection component 54 via the control panel 71, they can control the opening and closing of the nebulizer 542. When the medical professional controls the drying component 55 via the control panel 71, they can control the opening and closing of the fan 551. In this embodiment, since the control panel 71 with the above functions is common prior art, it will not be described in detail here, and it is only briefly shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The transmission assembly 73 includes a driving gear 731, a first driven gear 732, and a second driven gear 733 that are coaxially connected. The driving gear 731, the first driven gear 732, and the second driven gear 733 are all installed inside the fixed base 2, are rotatably connected to the fixed base 2, and have vertical and coincident rotation axes.

[0058] The movable seat 3 has a rack structure extending outward along its length from one end near the fixed seat 2 for meshing with the drive gear 731, and the movable seat 3 maintains its rack structure meshing with the drive gear 731 during its movement relative to the fixed seat 2; the bottom of the movable member 52 has a rack structure distributed along an arc trajectory for meshing with the first driven gear 732, and the movable member 52 maintains its rack structure meshing with the first driven gear 732 during its movement relative to the fixed member 51; the outer side of the movable claw 62 has a rack structure distributed along its own arc trajectory for meshing with the second driven gear 733, and the movable claw 62 maintains its rack structure meshing with the second driven gear 733 during its movement relative to the fixed claw 61.

[0059] At this time, as the movable seat 3 moves towards the fixed seat 2, the movable part 52 will move away from the fixed part 51, and the movable claw 62 will also move away from the fixed claw 61, until the head of the ultrasonic probe 1 positioned on the positioning device 4 enters the protective space 53 and the cable 12 enters the limiting space 63. Then, the movable part 52 continues to move to close the protective space 53 in the horizontal direction, and the movable claw 62 also continues to move to close the limiting space 63 in the horizontal direction. The same applies when the movable seat 3 moves away from the fixed seat 2.

[0060] The implementation principle of an ultrasonic probe placement structure in this application is as follows: When medical personnel need to temporarily place the ultrasound probe 1, they only need to control the drive component 72 through the control panel 71 to move the movable seat 3 away from the fixed seat 2 to the extreme position. At this time, the ultrasound probe 1 is inserted into the two airbags 42 located in the positioning space 31 with its head facing upward. Then, the ultrasound probe 1 is released, and the sliding component 41 will slide downward under the gravity of the ultrasound probe 1, so that the squeezing component 44 strengthens the squeezing of the airbags 42 to ensure the positioning effect of the ultrasound probe 1 on the positioning device 4. When medical personnel need to place the ultrasound probe 1 for an extended period, after positioning the ultrasound probe 1 on the positioning device 4, they can control the drive component 72 via the control panel 71 to move the movable seat 3 towards the fixed seat 2 to its limit position. During this process, the movable component 52 and the movable claw 62 will move accordingly under the action of the transmission component 73, so that after the ultrasound probe 1 enters the placement space 21, its head can be fully protected in the protective space 53 and the cable 12 can be fully limited in the limiting space 63. Afterwards, medical personnel can control the opening and closing of the disinfection component 54 and the drying component 55 via the control panel 71 to disinfect and dry the chip 11 of the ultrasound probe 1 head, thereby extending the service life of the ultrasound probe 1.

[0061] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
