[0002] Medical coupling agent is a substance composed of water-based polymer gel, which is used to remove air during the detection and diagnosis process, help the ultrasonic probe to contact with human skin, and improve image quality. As part of medical equipment, medical coupling agent needs to meet the safety and effectiveness standards set by the state. At the beginning of the ultrasound examination, a certain amount of coupling agent needs to be applied to the patient or the probe. The existing coupling agent has a cylindrical pointed bottle body. The front cap needs to be opened and the bottle body squeezed to squeeze the coupling agent onto the patient's body or the probe acoustic lens.

[0003] Because the coupling agent is in a gel state, it needs to be squeezed hard or even shaken to squeeze out quickly. During the operation, it was found that the coupling agent bottle mouth would hit the probe acoustic lens, causing damage to the probe. On the other hand, ultrasound examinations are in great demand in tertiary advanced hospitals. If cumbersome operations are added when using the coupling agent, it will add more burdens to the users. Most of the coupling agent extrusion equipment on the market is either too large or cumbersome to operate, and cannot meet the existing ultrasound examination requirements. Utility Model Content

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic induction contactless coupling agent extrusion device provided in this embodiment includes a shell 1, an upper baffle 2 and a lower baffle 3 fixed inside the shell 1, a driving component 4 is arranged between the upper baffle 2 and the lower baffle 3, and the driving component 4 is connected to a push ring 5, a side baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell 1, a silicone airbag 8 is arranged between the two side baffles 6, and the silicone airbag 8 has a chamber 801, a suction valve 10 is fixedly installed at the top end of the chamber 801, and an extrusion valve 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the chamber 801.

[0030] An infrared sensor 13 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the housing 1 , and a controller 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1 . The controller 14 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 13 , and the controller 14 is electrically connected to the motor 41 .

[0031] When the device is used to extrude the coupling agent, the coupling agent bottle is inserted into the insert ring 12, and the bottle mouth of the coupling agent bottle is inserted into the inlet of the silicone airbag 8. Before use, the coupling agent is squeezed to fill the chamber 801. The infrared sensor 13 is used to detect the presence of the probe. When the probe is placed in front of the infrared sensor 13, the infrared sensor 13 is excited and sends a signal to the controller 14 to start the drive component 4, and drive the push ring 5 to extrude the coupling agent.

[0032] In order to limit the installation of the silicone airbag 8, two limit plates 7 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two side baffles 6, and a retaining ring 9 is fixedly connected to the silicone airbag 8.
