Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and more specifically, to a coupling agent placement device. Background Art

[0002] During ultrasound examination, the air between the probe and the patient's skin will hinder the transmission of ultrasound waves into the human body. In order to obtain high-quality images, a liquid medium is needed to connect the probe and the patient's body surface. This medium is the coupling agent. When the coupling agent temperature is too low, the viscosity of the coupling agent increases, which not only easily affects the ultrasound examination, but also causes discomfort to the patient when applying. Therefore, the coupling agent must be placed in a coupling agent placement device to heat the coupling agent before or after use. A coupling agent placement device is provided with a barrel that can accommodate the coupling agent, and a heating mechanism is provided at the bottom of the barrel to heat the barrel. The coupling agent bottle is inserted into the barrel, and the coupling agent is heated by the heating mechanism. The coupling agent temperature is maintained between 35 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius.

[0003] The current coupling agent placement device has the following shortcomings: first, if the coupling agent bottle is placed in the cylinder with the liquid outlet facing upwards, if the coupling agent capacity in the bottle is large, the coupling agent at the liquid outlet is exposed to the cylinder and its temperature is relatively low, making it difficult to reach the required temperature for use; if the coupling agent bottle is placed with the liquid outlet facing downwards, although the coupling agent temperature at the liquid outlet can meet the requirements, the heating mechanism at the bottom of the cylinder cannot effectively meet the temperature of the coupling agent at the liquid outlet and near the liquid outlet of the bottle due to the relatively slender liquid outlet, which not only has a poor heating effect but also causes energy waste; second, the cylinder cannot be disassembled, and when the coupling agent liquid outlet is placed downwards, the coupling agent will leak into the cylinder during the process of taking the coupling agent. Since the cylinder cannot be disassembled, it is inconvenient to clean the cylinder, so it is urgently needed to improve this. Utility Model Content

[0027] In this embodiment, when the cylinder 4 is located in the installation cavity 16, the heater 3 is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder 4 and can heat the outside of the cylinder 4. When the liquid outlet of the bottle 200 containing the coupling agent is inverted downward in the cylinder 4, the heater 3 is located near the liquid outlet of the bottle 200, thereby effectively ensuring the heating temperature of the coupling agent at the liquid outlet of the bottle 200, with good heating effect and high efficiency.
