This maintains the state of the ultrasound probe body 1102 and provides support and reduces the burden on the wrist, thereby facilitating the reduction of stress on the doctor's neck, elbow and wrist and reducing labor intensity.
[0031] Furthermore, during testing, the gravity of the metal disc 402 provides a constant pressure on the moving rod 303, pushing it away from the guide tube 302. Simultaneously, the U-shaped frame 304, the moving plate 25, and the clamping mechanism move the ultrasound probe body 1102 to contact the testing area. The moving rod 303 can adaptively adjust its movement within the guide tube 302, ensuring that the ultrasound probe body 1102 remains in contact with the testing area and that the pressure remains constant.
