Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coupling agent feeding, in particular to a coupling agent uniform coating feeder. Background Art

[0002] The function of coupling agent is that it can be used in ultrasonic diagnostic equipment and Doppler blood flowmeters. It is suitable for obstetrics and gynecology, digestive system, urinary system, nervous system, newborn, thyroid and breast examinations. It can couple ultrasonic probes to improve display clarity.

[0003] An automatic coupling agent feeder has been developed. When medical staff move the grip equipped with an ultrasonic probe to the bottom of the discharge port of the automatic coupling agent feeder, the induction switch senses the approach of the grip. The coupling agent is squeezed out of the discharge port and falls on the grip. The coupling agent on the grip is then smeared on the human body and detected with an ultrasonic probe.

[0004] However, the discharge port of the traditional coupling agent automatic feeder can only discharge material at a fixed position, and the ultrasonic probe on the top of the handle is in the shape of a long strip. In order to allow the ultrasonic probe area of ​​the handle to be covered with enough coupling agent and prevent the coupling agent from piling up at a fixed position on the handle, the handle needs to be moved horizontally by hand when discharging the material from the discharge port. This operation method requires high proficiency of medical staff, and it is difficult for human hands to move at a stable speed for a long time, making it difficult to operate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a coupling agent uniform coating feeder, which can automatically and uniformly coat the coupling agent on a grip with an ultrasonic probe, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation for personnel.

[0007] As a further improvement of the utility model, the transverse movement mechanism includes a base connected to the outer shell; a transverse guide rail is connected to the base, a slider is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail, and the discharge nozzle is connected to the slider; the slider is threadedly connected to a screw rod, the screw rod is rotatably connected to the base and linked to the motor, and the motor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] As a further improvement of the utility model, a strip hole is provided on the outer wall of the shell, and the discharge nozzle passes through the strip hole.

[0012] Beneficial Effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the coupling agent uniform coating feeder of the utility model has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. When the personnel moves the handle with the ultrasonic probe to the bottom of the discharge nozzle, the camera recognizes that the approaching object is the ultrasonic probe, and the controller starts the feed pump, and the coupling agent is squeezed out from the discharge nozzle. At the same time, the lateral movement mechanism drives the discharge nozzle to move horizontally. At this time, there is no need for manual movement of the ultrasonic probe handle, and the coupling agent can be evenly arranged on the ultrasonic probe of the handle, which reduces the difficulty of personnel operation.

[0015] 2. The transverse movement mechanism adopts a structure in which a screw rod and a slider are matched, and the structure is simple.

[0016] 3. The distance sensor can be used to obtain the distance between the discharge nozzle and the ultrasonic probe in real time, so as to avoid the discharge of materials when the discharge nozzle is still far away from the ultrasonic probe, thereby reducing the risk of the coupling agent falling to the ground.

[0017] 4. There are four distance sensors arranged in a square shape. When the camera recognizes the ultrasonic probe and the four distance sensors simultaneously detect that the handle of the ultrasonic probe is close and within an appropriate distance, the discharge nozzle will extrude the coupling agent to avoid the discharge nozzle still discharging material when the handle position is offset.

A camera 2 located at one side of the discharge nozzle 3 is also provided on the housing 1, and the camera 2, the feed pump 17 and the transverse mechanism 5 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0027] The transverse movement mechanism 5 includes a base 52 connected to the housing 1. A transverse guide rail 53 is connected to the base 52, a slider 51 is slidably connected to the transverse guide rail 53, and the discharge nozzle 3 is connected to the slider 51. The slider 51 is threadedly connected to a screw rod 54, the screw rod 54 is rotatably connected to the base 52 and linked to a motor 55, and the motor 55 is electrically connected to the controller. The motor 55 is installed on the base 52, and the motor 55 drives the screw rod 54 to rotate forward and reversely, so as to drive the slider 51 and the discharge nozzle 3 to move back and forth along the length direction of the transverse guide rail 53. When the discharge nozzle 3 moves, since the soft pipe 31 is soft, it can also move with the discharge nozzle 3.

[0028] A strip hole 15 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1 , and the discharge nozzle 3 passes through the strip hole 15 .

[0029] The outer wall of the housing 1 is also provided with a distance sensor 4 located outside the discharge nozzle 3, and the distance sensor 4 is electrically connected to the controller. The distance sensor 4 can be a laser distance sensor. The laser emission direction of the laser distance sensor is parallel to the discharge direction of the discharge nozzle 3, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0030] In this embodiment, the number of distance sensors 4 is four and they are arranged in a square shape, such as Figure 3 As shown, each distance sensor 4 is located outside the strip-shaped hole 15 . Figure 3The frame-shaped dotted line in the figure corresponds to the vertical projection of the handle 18 on which the ultrasonic probe is provided.

[0031] The housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and a cover 12 which are interlocked. The housing body 11 is divided into a storage tank cavity 14 and an electrical cavity 13 by a partition, and the cover 12 is located at the top of the storage tank cavity 14. The storage tank interface 61 is located in the storage tank cavity 14, and the feed pump 17 is located in the electrical cavity 13.

[0032] When in use, when a person moves the handle 18 with the ultrasonic probe to the bottom of the discharge nozzle 3, the camera 2 recognizes that the object approaching is the ultrasonic probe through the image comparison function, and when the four distance sensors 4 simultaneously detect that the handle 18 of the ultrasonic probe is close and within an appropriate distance, it means that the position of the handle 18 is basically accurate. At this time, the controller starts the feed pump 17, and the coupling agent can be squeezed out from the discharge nozzle 3. At the same time, the lateral movement mechanism 5 drives the discharge nozzle 3 to move horizontally. In this process, there is no need for manual movement of the ultrasonic probe handle, so that the coupling agent can be evenly arranged on the ultrasonic probe of the handle, reducing the difficulty of operation for personnel. Among them, the image comparison and recognition technology belongs to the prior art, for example, it is recorded in the patent application named "Image Recognition System Based on Big Data for Convenient Comparative Analysis" and the publication number is CN114648626A.
