[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a hydraulic integrated circuit detection probe comprises a syringe 1, a linkage rod 2 and a probe head 3, wherein the linkage rod 2 is arranged in the syringe 1, and its lower end is connected to the probe head 3, a first magnetic component 4 is arranged between the upper end of the syringe 1 and the linkage rod 2, and a second magnetic component 5 is arranged between the lower end of the syringe 1 and the linkage rod 2; the first magnetic component 4 comprises a first magnet 41 and a second magnet 42 from top to bottom; the second magnetic component 5 comprises a third magnet 51 and a fourth magnet 52 from top to bottom; the first magnet 41 and the third magnet 51 are fixedly connected to the linkage rod 2; the second magnet 42 and the fourth magnet 52 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the syringe 1; the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42 are arranged opposite to each other with the same polarity, and the third magnet 51 and the fourth magnet 52 are arranged opposite to each other with the same polarity; a hydraulic damper 6 is arranged between the first magnet 41 and the third magnet 51;
[0024] When the linkage rod 2 is forced to move downward, the first magnetic component 4 and the second magnetic component 5 will hinder the travel of the linkage rod 2 due to the principle of like-charged magnets repelling each other, and will force the linkage rod 2 to reset and maintain after the linkage rod 2 loses external force, that is, to return the probe head 3 to its original position. The two magnetic components play a role similar to that of a metal mechanical spring in the extension and retraction process of the detection probe; and the role of the hydraulic damper 6 is to provide damping in the opposite direction during the movement of the linkage rod 2, to minimize the vibration of the probe head 3 during the extension and retraction process, to make the extension and retraction stroke smooth and linear, to reduce the sense of segmentation, and to increase the stability of the probe head 3.
[0025] The hydraulic damper 6 is composed of a sleeve 61 and a hydraulic pipe group; the sleeve 61 is sleeved on the outer wall of the hydraulic pipe group; the sleeve 61 is connected to the second magnet 42, and the hydraulic pipe group is connected to the third magnet 51;
[0026] The following is a structure of a hydraulic pipe group: the hydraulic pipe group includes an outer hydraulic pipe 62 and an inner hydraulic pipe 63; the sleeve 61 is sleeved on the outer wall of the outer hydraulic pipe 62; the inner hydraulic pipe 63 is sleeved in the outer hydraulic pipe 62; an inner piston 611 is provided in the inner hydraulic pipe 63; the inner piston 611 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 61 through a connecting rod 612; an outer piston 631 is provided at the lower end of the inner hydraulic pipe 63.
[0027] Hydraulic oil is arranged in the outer hydraulic pipe 62 and the inner hydraulic pipe 63; a channel for the hydraulic oil to pass through is arranged on the inner hydraulic pipe 63; when the hydraulic damper 6 is squeezed by external force, the inner piston 611 connected to the sleeve 61 will squeeze the inner hydraulic pipe 63, so that the hydraulic oil in the inner hydraulic pipe 63 is pumped into the outer hydraulic pipe 62, and the increase of hydraulic oil in the outer hydraulic pipe 62 will in turn squeeze the outer piston 631 behind the inner hydraulic pipe 63, thereby hindering the compression of the hydraulic damper 6. Conversely, when the damper is stretched by external force, it can also hinder the stretching of the damper. Since the flow of hydraulic oil between the inner and outer layers of hydraulic pipes can play an effective buffering role, it can also play an effect of reducing the vibration of the probe head 3.
[0028] A connector 21 is disposed at the upper end of the linkage rod 2, on which grooves and protrusions are disposed for facilitating the combination of the probe and the driving unit.
[0029] A tip cover 11 is provided at the lower end of the syringe 1 for protecting the probe head 3 in an unactivated state. The tip cover 11 is fixedly connected to the syringe 1 by a thread for easy replacement and maintenance.
[0030] Advantages of the utility model:
[0031] Two groups of mutually repelling magnets are used instead of springs, and the principle of like-charged magnets repel each other is used to provide power for resetting the probe. Compared with traditional metal springs, the structure is simpler, metal fatigue is avoided, the service life is longer, and the frequency of repair and replacement of probes is reduced. A hydraulic damper is arranged between the two groups of magnetic components to reduce the vibration of the probe head, make its telescopic stroke smooth and linear, reduce the sense of segmentation, and increase the stability of the probe head.
[0032] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
