Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a dust cover for an ultrasonic probe. Background Art

[0002] Medical ultrasonic probes are devices that transmit and receive ultrasonic waves during ultrasonic testing. The performance of the probe directly affects the characteristics of ultrasonic waves and the detection performance of ultrasonic waves. The probe used in ultrasonic testing is a transducer that uses the piezoelectric effect of materials to achieve electrical energy and acoustic energy conversion. The key component in the probe is the wafer, which is a single crystal or polycrystalline thin film with piezoelectric effect. Its function is to convert electrical energy and acoustic energy into each other.

[0003] At present, medical ultrasound probes often do not have their own dedicated protective covers. After use, the ultrasound probe is placed in the probe hanging slot of the color ultrasound machine control panel. When not in use, it is exposed to the outside world for a long time, and dust, bacteria and viruses will accumulate, resulting in the unclean surface of the ultrasound probe. In addition, the bacteria and viruses on the ultrasound probe may be transmitted to the patient, which poses certain safety risks. In addition, when ultraviolet disinfection is performed in the ultrasound room, the ultraviolet radiation will also cause certain damage to the ultrasound probe. If a protective cover is provided, different types of ultrasound probes need to be equipped with protective covers of different sizes, which is very inconvenient to use. In view of the above problems, the utility model provides an ultrasound probe protective cover, which has a simple structure and is compatible with the probe hanging slot on the color ultrasound machine. It can well protect multiple ultrasound probes on the color ultrasound machine and protect the ultrasound probes from contamination and damage. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 5-Figure 10 The ultrasonic probe dust cover shown in the figure comprises a protective cover 8 with an opening at the lower end and a cubic shape as a whole. A connecting plate 9 is horizontally fixedly provided at the inner edge of the bottom of the outer end of the protective cover 8 along its length direction. A plurality of connecting columns 10 are vertically fixedly provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 9 along its length direction. The bottoms of the plurality of connecting columns 10 are fixedly connected to a mounting plate 11 together. A bottom plate 13 is provided below the mounting plate 11. The bottom plate 13 is hinged to the bottom of the mounting plate 11 in a flippable manner, and a torsion spring 15 is provided between the bottom plate 13 and the mounting plate 11, so that the bottom plate 13 is tightly attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 11 in a natural state. A plurality of second slots 18 are provided at the inner end of the bottom plate 13 along its length direction, and the length direction of the second slots 18 is consistent with the width direction of the bottom plate 13.

[0028] The ultrasonic probe protective cover has a simple structure and is compatible with the probe hanging slot 5 on the color ultrasound machine body 1. It can well protect the ultrasonic probes 20 in the multiple probe hanging slots 5 on the same side of the control panel 2, preventing dust and other pollutants from falling on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 20 and causing the ultrasonic probe 20 to be contaminated. When ultraviolet disinfection is performed in the ultrasound room, the ultrasonic probe 20 can also be protected from damage.

[0029] In this embodiment, two mounting seats 12 are provided at the bottom of the outer end of the base plate 13, and two rotating shafts 14 are coaxially provided on both sides of the outer end of the base plate 13. The rotating shafts 14 are rotatably provided on the mounting seats 12, and a torsion spring 15 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 14. A cylindrical stopper 16 corresponding to the torsion spring 15 is provided on the base plate 13.

[0030] As a further optimization, seals 19 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the second groove 18. The seals 19 are sealing brushes, sealing felt pads or sealing sponges, so that the lower connecting line of the ultrasonic probe 20 can pass through the symmetrically arranged seals 19 and prevent dust from entering the protective cover 8 through the second groove 18.

[0031] As a further optimization, a closed-loop baffle 17 is vertically arranged above the bottom plate 13 around all the second slots 18, and a clearance groove 1701 corresponding to the second slots 18 is arranged on the baffle 17, and seals 19 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the clearance groove 1701. The upper end profile of the baffle 17 is adapted to the bottom of the control panel 2, so that when the bottom plate 13 is tightly attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 11, the upper end of the baffle 17 just fits with the bottom of the control panel 2, which better prevents dust from entering the protective cover 8.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the ultrasonic probe dust cover also includes a color ultrasound machine body 1, on which a control panel 2, an operation keyboard 3, a touch screen 4 and a display screen 7 are arranged. A probe hanging groove 5 is arranged on the control panel 2 of the color ultrasound machine body 1, and a first through groove 6 is arranged between the edge of the control panel 2 and the probe hanging groove 5, so that the lower connecting line of the ultrasonic probe 20 passes through the first through groove 6; the number of the connecting columns 10 and the number of the second through grooves 18 are the same as the number of the probe hanging grooves 5 arranged on the left or right side of the control panel 2, and the connecting columns 10 are adapted to the width of the first through groove 6, so that after the ultrasonic probe dust cover is arranged on the control panel 2, its connecting columns 10 can block the first through groove 6 to prevent dust from entering the protective cover 8 through the first through groove 6. In this embodiment, three probe hanging grooves 5 are arranged on the left and right sides of the control panel 2. As a further optimization, the length of the connecting column 10 is adapted to the depth of the first groove 6, so that after the ultrasonic probe dust cover is set on the control panel 2, the mounting plate 11 fits with the bottom surface of the control panel 2, so that the ultrasonic probe dust cover can be firmly installed on the control panel 2.

[0033] As a further optimization, the protective cover 8 includes an upper protective cover 801 located at the upper part, a lower protective cover 803 located at the lower part, and a foldable connecting cover 802 connected between the upper protective cover 801 and the lower protective cover 803, and the connecting cover 802 is accordion-shaped. Since the ultrasonic probe 20 is divided into different types according to different detection parts, and the lengths and sizes are also different, after the connecting cover 802 is provided, the ultrasonic probes 20 of various lengths can be protected, and when not in use, it occupies a small space and is easy to store.

[0034] Specific use process:

[0035] Lift the bottom plate 13, align the lower opening of the protective cover 8 with the probe hanging groove 5 and the ultrasonic probe 20 placed therein, move the protective cover 8 downward, and allow the ultrasonic probe 20 to enter the protective cover 8 until the lower end of the protective cover 8 is attached to the upper surface of the control panel 2, and then release the bottom plate 13;

[0036] Move the ultrasonic probe dust cover toward the inside of the control panel 2 so that the connecting column 10 enters the first slot 6 and the connecting line at the bottom of the ultrasonic probe 20 enters the second slot 18;

[0037] Under the action of the torsion spring 15 , the bottom plate 13 is fastened to the bottom of the control panel 2 , so that the ultrasonic probe dust cover is firmly clamped on the control panel 2 , thereby achieving all-round protection for the ultrasonic probe 20 .

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
