Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasonic medical equipment, in particular to a coupling agent heating device and a diagnostic instrument suitable for ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasound examination plays an important role in the discovery, examination and treatment of various diseases. It is also an important means of fetal examination. When using an ultrasound diagnostic instrument, it is usually necessary to apply coupling agent on the ultrasound probe or skin to improve signal quality, achieve body surface disinfection and sterilization, and reduce friction when the ultrasound probe moves through lubrication.

[0003] In specific applications, especially in cold seasons, when the coupling agent comes into contact with the skin, due to the temperature difference between the coupling agent and the human skin, especially at the beginning of contact, it will give the person being tested a cool feeling. For pregnant women, the cool stimulation may cause a stress response in pregnant women, induce tension, etc.

[0004] In order to solve the problem caused by the coupling agent temperature being too low, the conventional treatment method is to heat the coupling agent, for example, placing the coupling agent on the indoor radiator and using the heat of the radiator to preheat the coupling agent, but such a heating method cannot guarantee a reliable heating effect. In the prior art, there are also dedicated heating devices for heating the coupling agent, for example, placing the entire coupling agent bottle in a heating chamber, and after waiting for a long time, the coupling agent can be heated to the set temperature. This method is reliable for heating, but there is a problem of a long waiting time.

[0005] In order to improve the comfort of pregnant women during ultrasound diagnosis, it is necessary to optimize the existing related equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a coupling agent heating device and a diagnostic instrument suitable for ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women, which are used for heating the coupling agent used in ultrasonic examination and have the characteristics of simple structure, convenient use and no excessive waste of coupling agent.

[0007] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a coupling agent heating device suitable for ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women to solve the problems through the following technical points: a coupling agent heating device suitable for ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women, including a material pipe, from the inlet end to the outlet end of the material pipe, the material pipe includes an inlet section, a horizontal section and an arched bend arranged in sequence, and the inlet section and the arched bend are located on the same side of the horizontal section; it also includes a first heating sleeve sleeved on the outside of the horizontal section and a second heating sleeve sleeved on the arched bend; the front end of the inlet section is also connected to a docking head, the docking head is used to dock the extrusion port of the coupling agent bottle to the inlet end of the material pipe, and a conical docking hole is provided on the docking head, the docking hole is communicated with the inlet end of the material pipe, the inner diameter of the docking hole is smaller than the outer diameter, and a rubber lining is provided on the hole wall of the docking hole, and the extrusion tube of the coupling agent bottle can be inserted into the docking hole and fit with the inner wall of the rubber lining and squeezed against each other.

[0008] In existing applications, most common heating devices used for heating coupling agents are box-type heaters, which specifically include a heating box. The heating box is equipped with an electric heating device and a control module. For coupling agents with lower temperatures, the coupling agent bottle is placed in the heating box as a whole. Since the lateral size of the coupling agent bottle is large and the coupling agent in the coupling agent bottle does not have fluidity, it is also necessary to avoid the coupling agent bottle from drying out after evaporation due to excessively fast heating speed and excessively high heating temperature. The entire heating process needs to be controlled so that the coupling agent heats up slowly, which results in a longer time required for the entire heating process. After each use, the best application is to put the coupling agent bottle into the heating box again, which is inconvenient to use. Based on this, the present invention provides a coupling agent heating device, which heats the coupling agent before use to assist in ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women, so that pregnant women can complete ultrasonic examinations in a relatively relaxed mood. At the same time, the present invention has the characteristics of simple structure, easy use, and no excessive waste of coupling agent.

[0009] Specifically, the present solution uses an inlet section and an arched bend located above the horizontal section, and the coupling agent bottle and the material pipe are connected by a joint. Due to the presence of the rubber liner, when the extrusion tube and the rubber liner are coaxial, the extrusion tube and the inner wall of the rubber liner are attached and squeezed against each other, an axial seal is formed between the rubber liner and the outer wall of the extrusion tube. At this time, by squeezing the coupling agent bottle, the coupling agent in it can be squeezed into the material pipe and the coupling agent can be prevented from overflowing at the joint position. The specific amount of squeezing is preferably such that the outlet end of the material pipe has coupling agent discharge. Due to the presence of the arched bend and the inlet section, even if a part of the coupling agent at the rear end of the arched bend automatically flows out, a certain amount of coupling agent can still be stably retained in the material pipe. The amount is determined according to the single usage of the coupling agent, and it is sufficient to ensure that the amount is greater than the single usage. In order to avoid the unplanned drop of the coupling agent and affect the normal inspection, the amount can be set to be greater than or equal to three times the single usage. Then, the horizontal section and the arched bend are heated by the first heating device and the second heating device respectively, so that the coupling agent retained in the material tube is heated and the temperature rises. When the heated coupling agent needs to be used, the coupling agent bottle is docked on the docking head and the coupling agent is further injected into the material tube, so that the heated coupling agent can be discharged from the rear end of the arched bend.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this solution has at least the following characteristics:

[0011] 1. This solution only heats the coupling agent squeezed into the material tube. Since the coupling agent bottle is not heated as a whole, it has the characteristics of fast heating speed. At the same time, it can also prevent the coupling agent in the coupling agent bottle that has not been used from being heated for a long time and drying out after the water evaporates;

[0012] 2. The structural characteristics of this solution enable the heated coupling agent to be squeezed out by re-injecting the coupling agent into the material tube, which is the same as the extrusion method of squeezing the coupling agent out of the coupling agent bottle each time the coupling agent is used in the prior art, so that this solution is in line with the doctor's operating habits and is easy to use;

[0013] 3. The arched bend described in this solution is actually a coupling agent retention bend on the material tube. The best application is to discharge the coupling agent from the top to the bottom at the outlet of the material tube, so that the ultrasonic probe can receive the coupling agent in a horizontal posture. After the coupling agent is squeezed out once, only the coupling agent retained in the material tube behind the arched bend will slowly flow out and fall off. Therefore, this solution also has the characteristic of not causing excessive waste of coupling agent.

[0014] 4. This solution can heat the coupling agent by limiting the shape of the material pipe, arranging a butt joint at the inlet end, and arranging a first heating jacket and a second heating jacket on the material pipe. Therefore, this solution also has the characteristics of simple structure.

[0015] 5. The first heating jacket and the second heating jacket are used to heat different parts of the material pipe. The heating power of the first heating jacket and the second heating jacket can be controlled separately, so that the first heating jacket is mainly used for heating the coupling agent, and the second heating jacket near the rear end of the material pipe is mainly used for heat preservation of the material pipe, so as to avoid uneven temperature distribution of the discharged coupling agent due to the material pipe at the outlet end absorbing the heat of the coupling agent during the flow of the coupling agent along the material pipe;

[0016] 6. For the material tube, the structural characteristics of this solution allow new coupling agent to be added after the heated coupling agent is squeezed out. At the same time, the coupling agent added during the diagnosis period can be heated to the use temperature. Therefore, this solution can effectively ensure that the coupling agent to be used is effectively heated, and medical staff do not need to pay attention to the condition of the coupling agent in the material tube.

[0017] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a device frame, the lower end of the device frame is provided with a base with a bayonet, the upper end of the device frame is provided with an operating table, the material tube is fixed on the operating table, the docking head is located above the operating table, the horizontal section is located below the operating table, and the outlet side of the arched bend is located outside the operating table. In this scheme, the device frame and the base can be used to fix the device on the table of the ultrasonic diagnostic instrument, and the position setting characteristics of the corresponding components are used to solve the problem of convenience in squeezing the coupling agent, the interference problem of the component ultrasonic diagnostic operation, and the convenience of the ultrasonic probe receiving the coupling agent.

[0018] In a specific embodiment, a descending section as the end of the material tube is provided at the rear end of the arched bend, which is used to achieve: the outlet end of the material tube discharges the coupling agent from top to bottom, so that the ultrasonic probe can receive the coupling agent in a horizontal posture, thereby reducing the waste of the coupling agent falling.

[0019] In a specific embodiment, a receiving groove for placing a coupling agent bottle is also provided on the top surface of the operating table; relative to the docking head, the receiving groove is located at the edge of the operating table, and the receiving groove and the base are respectively provided at different ends of the operating table. In this solution, the coupling agent bottle is placed on the operating table to further improve the coupling agent squeezing efficiency and the convenience of squeezing operation; when the size and shape of the material tube are certain, the docking head is located on the inner side of the receiving groove so that there is a longer material tube under the operating table, and such structural features are beneficial to reducing the volume of the device.

[0020] In a specific embodiment, the base includes two spaced-apart clamping plates, one of which is provided with a clamping screw that penetrates the clamping plate and is threadedly connected to the clamping plate, and one end of the clamping screw extends between the two clamping plates and forms the bayonet between the other clamping plate. This solution provides a specific implementation of the base, and such a structural feature has the characteristics of a simple base structure and convenient clamping operation of the base.

[0021] In a specific embodiment, the material pipe between the first heating sleeve and the second heating sleeve is wrapped by a heat preservation sleeve. This solution provides a technical solution for reducing the heat loss of the coupling agent after being heated in the material pipe by using the heat preservation sleeve when the first heating sleeve cannot be directly connected to the arch bend.

[0022] In a specific embodiment, in order to reduce the heat loss of the coupling agent after being heated, a heat preservation sleeve is also provided on the horizontal section in front of the first heating sleeve.

[0023] In a specific embodiment, a waste bucket for holding the coupling agent discharged from the material tube is also included. As described above, the coupling agent retained at the rear end of the arched bend will slowly flow out and fall off; at the same time, the coupling agent near the outlet of the material tube may dry out due to heat. The preferred method of use is to discard the coupling agent at the front section after squeezing out the coupling agent in the material tube each time. The waste bucket is used to collect the fallen coupling agent and the coupling agent that is deliberately discarded, which is beneficial to the environmental control in the ultrasound diagnosis room.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the coupling agent in the material tube, and also includes a control module for controlling the operation of the first heating jacket and the second heating jacket. The temperature sensor is data-connected to the control module, and the control module controls the operation of the first heating jacket and the second heating jacket according to the detection value of the temperature sensor. In this solution, the temperature sensor and the control module are used to heat the coupling agent in the material tube based on automatic control.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the coupling agent in the material tube is also included, and a display screen is also included, and the display screen is used to display the detection value of the temperature sensor. In this solution, the temperature sensor and the display screen are used to enable the temperature of the coupling agent in the material tube to be displayed intuitively, so as to ensure the heating quality of the coupling agent and the safety of the coupling agent.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the docking head is detachably connected to the material tube. In this solution, the detachable docking head is used so that the device can be effectively docked with different types of coupling agent bottle extrusion tubes.

[0027] As a specific application of the coupling agent heating device, the present invention also claims protection for an ultrasonic diagnostic instrument including any of the coupling agent heating devices described above. It is easy to understand that the ultrasonic diagnostic instrument is a complete system including the coupling agent heating device.

[0028] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. This solution only heats the coupling agent squeezed into the material tube. Since the coupling agent bottle is not heated as a whole, it has the characteristics of fast heating speed. At the same time, it can also avoid the phenomenon that the unused coupling agent in the coupling agent bottle is dried up after the water evaporates due to long-term heating;

[0030] 2. The structural characteristics of this solution enable the heated coupling agent to be squeezed out by re-injecting the coupling agent into the material tube, which is the same as the extrusion method of squeezing the coupling agent out of the coupling agent bottle each time the coupling agent is used in the prior art. This makes this solution also in line with the doctor's operating habits and easy to use;

[0031] 3. The arched bend described in this solution is actually a coupling agent retention bend on the material tube. The best application is to discharge the coupling agent from the top to the bottom at the outlet of the material tube, so that the ultrasonic probe can receive the coupling agent in a horizontal posture. After the coupling agent is squeezed out once, only the coupling agent retained in the material tube behind the arched bend will slowly flow out and fall off. Therefore, this solution also has the characteristic of not causing excessive waste of coupling agent.

[0032] 4. This solution can heat the coupling agent by limiting the shape of the material pipe, arranging a butt joint at the inlet end, and arranging a first heating jacket and a second heating jacket on the material pipe. Therefore, this solution also has the characteristics of simple structure.

[0033] 5. The first heating jacket and the second heating jacket are used to heat different parts of the material pipe. The heating power of the first heating jacket and the second heating jacket can be controlled separately, so that the first heating jacket is mainly used for heating the coupling agent, and the second heating jacket near the rear end of the material pipe is mainly used for heat preservation of the material pipe, so as to avoid uneven temperature distribution of the discharged coupling agent due to the coupling agent flowing along the material pipe and the material pipe at the outlet end absorbing the coupling agent heat;

[0034] 6. For the material tube, the structural characteristics of this solution allow new coupling agent to be added after the heated coupling agent is squeezed out. At the same time, the coupling agent added during the diagnosis period can be heated to the use temperature. Therefore, this solution can effectively ensure that the coupling agent to be used is effectively heated, and medical staff do not need to pay attention to the condition of the coupling agent in the material tube.

[0043] In existing applications, most common heating devices used for heating coupling agents are box-type heaters, which specifically include a heating box. The heating box is equipped with an electric heating device and a control module. For coupling agents with lower temperatures, the coupling agent bottle is placed in the heating box as a whole. Since the lateral size of the coupling agent bottle is large and the coupling agent in the coupling agent bottle does not have fluidity, it is also necessary to avoid the coupling agent bottle from drying out after evaporation due to excessively fast heating speed and excessively high heating temperature. The entire heating process needs to be controlled so that the coupling agent heats up slowly, which results in a longer time required for the entire heating process. After each use, the best application is to put the coupling agent bottle into the heating box again, which is inconvenient to use. Based on this, the present invention provides a coupling agent heating device, which heats the coupling agent before use to assist in ultrasonic diagnosis of pregnant women, so that pregnant women can complete ultrasonic examinations in a relatively relaxed mood. At the same time, the present invention has the characteristics of simple structure, easy use, and no excessive waste of coupling agent.

[0044] Specifically, the present solution uses the inlet section 15 and the arched bend 13 located above the horizontal section 14, and the coupling agent bottle and the material pipe 4 are connected by the joint 5. Due to the existence of the rubber liner 11, when the extrusion tube 16 is coaxial with the rubber liner 11, the extrusion tube 16 and the inner wall of the rubber liner 11 are attached and squeezed against each other, an axial seal is formed between the rubber liner 11 and the outer wall of the extrusion tube 16. At this time, by squeezing the coupling agent bottle, the coupling agent in it can be squeezed into the material pipe 4 and prevented from overflowing at the position of the joint 5. The specific amount of squeezing is preferably such that the outlet end of the material pipe 4 has coupling agent discharge. Due to the existence of the arched bend 13 and the inlet section 15, even if a part of the coupling agent at the rear end of the arched bend 13 automatically flows out, a certain amount of coupling agent can still be stably retained in the material pipe 4. The amount is determined according to the single usage of the coupling agent, and it is sufficient to ensure that the amount is greater than the single usage. In order to avoid the unplanned drop of the coupling agent and affect the normal inspection, the amount can be set to be greater than or equal to three times the single usage. Then, the horizontal section 14 and the arched bend 13 are heated by the first heating device and the second heating device respectively, so that the coupling agent retained in the material tube 4 is heated and the temperature rises. When the heated coupling agent needs to be used, the coupling agent bottle is docked on the docking joint 5 and the coupling agent is further injected into the material tube 4, so that the heated coupling agent can be discharged from the rear end of the arched bend 13.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, this solution has at least the following characteristics:

At the same time, it can also avoid the phenomenon that the coupling agent in the coupling agent bottle that has not been used is heated for a long time and the water evaporates and then dries up;

[0047] 2. The structural characteristics of this solution enable the heated coupling agent to be squeezed out by re-injecting the coupling agent into the material tube 4, which is the same as the extrusion method of squeezing the coupling agent out of the coupling agent bottle each time the coupling agent is used in the prior art, so that this solution is in line with the doctor's operating habits and is easy to use;

[0048] 3. The arched bend 13 in this solution is actually a coupling agent retention bend on the material tube 4. The preferred application is that the coupling agent is discharged from the outlet end of the material tube 4 from top to bottom, so that the ultrasonic probe can receive the coupling agent in a horizontal posture. After the coupling agent is squeezed out once, only the coupling agent retained in the material tube 4 behind the arched bend 13 will slowly flow out and fall off.

[0050] 5. The first heating jacket 8 and the second heating jacket 9 are used to heat different parts of the material pipe 4. The heating power of the first heating jacket 8 and the second heating jacket 9 can be controlled respectively, so that the first heating jacket 8 is mainly used for heating the coupling agent, and the second heating jacket 9 near the rear end of the material pipe 4 is mainly used for heat preservation of the material pipe 4, so as to avoid uneven temperature distribution of the discharged coupling agent due to the material pipe 4 at the outlet end absorbing the heat of the coupling agent during the flow of the coupling agent along the material pipe 4;

[0051] 6. With respect to the material tube 4, the structural features of this solution allow new coupling agent to be added after the heated coupling agent is squeezed out. At the same time, the coupling agent added during the diagnosis period can be heated to the use temperature. Therefore, this solution can effectively ensure that the coupling agent to be used is effectively heated, and medical staff do not need to pay attention to the coupling agent in the material tube 4.
