DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an ultrasound probe module 100, including: a first connecting line 110 and a second connecting line 120, wherein a probe plug 130 and a first connector 140 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first connecting line 110, and a second connector 150 and an ultrasound probe 160 are respectively arranged at both ends of the second connecting line 120, wherein the probe plug 130 is used to connect to the main body of the ultrasound device, and the first connector 140 and the second connector 150 are detachably connected.
[0026] Specifically, when connecting the ultrasonic probe module 100 to the main body of the ultrasonic device, it is only necessary to connect the probe plug 130 to the main body of the ultrasonic device. As long as the connectivity between the first connector 140 and the second connector 150 is ensured, the normal operation of the ultrasonic probe 160 can be ensured. When a different type of ultrasonic probe 160 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to disassemble it at the first connector 140 and the second connector 150 and reconnect it. The above-mentioned connection form, through the extension effect of the first connecting line 110, does not require bending or squatting to operate during the replacement process. It is more suitable for placement in a small space area, which is conducive to improving the utilization of space and reducing the difficulty of operation, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0027] In addition, by adopting the above method, the relay or high-voltage analog switch in the main body of the ultrasound device can be eliminated, which is conducive to reducing production costs and reducing the overall volume of the ultrasound preparation main body. When replacing the ultrasound probe 160, the probe plug 130 is always connected to the main body of the ultrasound device, which can be achieved by the connection form of the first connector 140 and the second connector 150.
[0028] The ultrasonic probe module 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first connecting line 110 and a second connecting line 120. When the ultrasonic probe 160 needs to be connected to the main body of the ultrasonic device, it is necessary to ensure the conduction between the first connecting line 110 and the second connecting line 120. When conducting, the first connecting line 110 is connected to the main body of the ultrasonic device through the probe plug 130 provided at one end of the first connecting line 110, and there is no need to perform frequent plugging and unplugging operations thereafter. The connection between the first connecting line 110 and the second connecting line 120 is connected through the first connector 140 and the second connector 150, and the first connecting line 110 can lead the first connector 140 to a suitable position. When the ultrasonic probe 160 is replaced and the first connector 140 and the second connector 150 need to be separated or connected, it can be done in a more comfortable posture without bending over or squatting on the ground to perform related operations, which is conducive to improving work efficiency. With the above-mentioned setting form, there is no need to use multiple probe plugs 130 to realize the switching of the ultrasonic probe 160, and then the relay or high-voltage analog switch in the main body of the ultrasonic device can be cancelled, which is conducive to reducing production costs.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connector 140 includes a first connection seat 142 and a plug-in terminal 144 connected to the first connection seat 142, and the second connector 150 includes a second connection seat 152 and a plug-in probe 154 connected to the second connection seat 152, and the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 can be pluggably connected.
[0030] Specifically, by connecting the first connection base 142 with the plug-in terminal 144, the structural strength of the first connector 140 is improved to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection. Similarly, the second connection base 152 is conducive to ensuring the stability of the plug-in probe 154 itself, so as to ensure the stable cooperation between the plug-in probe 154 and the plug-in terminal 144.
[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer ring of the plug-in terminal 144 is provided with a limiting groove 1442 arranged along the axial direction of the plug-in terminal 144, the outer ring of the plug-in probe 154 is provided with a sleeve 156, and the inner ring of the sleeve 156 is provided with a limiting protrusion 1562 corresponding to the limiting groove 1442. When the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 are plugged and connected, the limiting groove 1442 can be aligned and matched with the limiting protrusion 1562.
[0032] Specifically, when the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 are mated, the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 need to be mated at a specific angle to be inserted smoothly. At this time, by providing a limiting groove 1442 on the outer ring of the plug-in terminal 144, and providing a limiting protrusion 1562 corresponding to the limiting groove 1442 on the sleeve 156 of the outer ring of the plug-in probe 154, during the mating process of the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154, it is only necessary to align the limiting protrusion 1562 with the limiting groove 1442 to ensure the alignment of the plug hole on the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of operation and guiding the plugging process.
[0033] It is understandable that the limiting grooves 1442 and the limiting protrusions 1562 are respectively arranged in multiple groups. In this way, it is convenient to carry out alignment and it is helpful to prevent the insertion difficulty caused by skew during docking.
[0034] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a nut 146 is provided on the first connecting seat 142, an inner ring of one side of the nut 146 is provided with a first annular clamping protrusion, a second annular clamping protrusion is provided on the first connecting seat 142, an outer ring of the sleeve 156 is provided with an external thread 1564, and the nut 146 can be threadedly connected with the sleeve 156.
[0035] Specifically, through the cooperation of the first annular latch and the second annular latch, the nut 146 can be limited. When the nut 146 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 156, the nut 146 connects the first connecting seat 142 and the second connecting seat 152, avoiding accidental loosening of the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154, which is beneficial to ensure stability during use.
[0036] In an optional embodiment of the present application, a limiting cap is provided on the first connecting seat 142, the inner ring of one side of the limiting cap is provided with a first annular locking protrusion, a second annular locking protrusion is provided on the first connecting seat 142, an L-shaped locking groove is provided on the other side of the limiting cap, and a limiting protrusion 1562 is provided on the sleeve 156. When the plug-in terminal 144 is plugged into the plug-in probe 154, the limiting protrusion 1562 can be inserted into the L-shaped slot.
[0037] Specifically, through the cooperation of the first annular latch and the second annular latch, the limiting cap can be limited to prevent it from loosening from the first connecting seat 142. After the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 are plugged in and connected, the limiting cap is pushed to push the L-shaped slot forward to cooperate with the limiting protrusion 1562. When the limiting cap is pushed into place, the limiting cap is rotated to make the L-shaped slot and the limiting protrusion 1562 stably engage with each other, thereby connecting the first connecting seat 142 and the second connecting seat 152, preventing the plug-in terminal 144 and the plug-in probe 154 from accidentally loosening, which is beneficial to ensuring stability during use.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, a connecting plate 158 is also provided on the first connecting seat 142 or the second connecting seat 152, and the connecting plate 158 is used to connect to the main body of the ultrasonic device.
[0039] Specifically, by providing the connection plate 158 on the first connection seat 142 or the second connection seat 152, during use, the connection plate 158 can be connected to a suitable position of the ultrasonic device body, so as to avoid accidental hanging on other obstacles due to the excessive overall length of the first connection line 110 and the second connection line 120 after being connected, which is beneficial to protecting the first connection line 110 and the second connection line 120. In addition, when the connection plate 158 is provided on the first connection seat 142, the first connector 140 can be temporarily fixed at a suitable position of the ultrasonic device body, so as to facilitate connection with the second connector 150, and the first connector 140 will not be accidentally dropped on the ground and damaged.
[0040] The utility model also discloses an ultrasonic inspection device, comprising an ultrasonic device body and the ultrasonic probe module 100 in the aforementioned embodiment, wherein the ultrasonic probe module 100 is connected to the ultrasonic device body via a probe plug 130. The ultrasonic inspection device comprises the same structure and beneficial effects as the ultrasonic probe module 100 in the aforementioned embodiment. The structure and beneficial effects of the ultrasonic probe module 100 have been described in detail in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0041] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the ultrasonic inspection device further includes a sliding base, which is disposed at the bottom of the ultrasonic inspection device body.
[0042] The above method makes it easy to move the ultrasonic inspection equipment and improves its convenience during use.
[0043] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model rather than to limit it. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents; and all these modifications and replacements should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present utility model.
