In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In addition, the term "same" does not mean that the parts must be absolutely the same, but slight differences are allowed. The term "vertical" only means that the positional relationship between the parts is more vertical than "parallel", and does not mean that the structure must be completely vertical, but can be slightly tilted.

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: an ultrasonic probe with a connecting wire protection function, comprising an ultrasonic probe body 1, a connecting wire 2 and a protective cover, one end of the connecting wire 2 is fixedly connected to the ultrasonic probe body 1, the other end of the connecting wire 2 is used to connect to an ultrasonic diagnostic instrument host, one end of the protective cover is fixedly arranged on the ultrasonic probe body 1, and the protective cover is arranged on the connecting wire 2; the protective cover is used to protect the connecting wire 2 so that the part of the connecting wire 2 located in the protective cover will not be bent, and the protective cover is a retractable structure so that the other end of the protective cover can move toward or away from the probe body.

[0028] During use of the ultrasonic probe with connecting wire protection function described in the utility model, under the protection of the protective cover, the position where the connecting wire 2 is connected to the ultrasonic probe body 1 will not be bent, the portion of the connecting wire 2 located inside the protective cover will not be bent, and the position of the connecting wire 2 corresponding to the other end of the protective cover is the position that will be bent.

[0029] Since the protective cover is a retractable structure, the other end of the protective cover can be moved toward or away from the ultrasonic probe body 1, and the position of the connecting line 2 corresponding to the other end of the protective cover can be changed by retracting the protective cover, and the position of the connecting line 2 that can be bent can be changed. Therefore, by frequently adjusting the length of the protective cover, the position of the connecting line 2 that can be bent can be frequently changed, which can reduce the possibility that a certain position on the connecting line 2 is frequently bent, and can reduce the possibility that the connecting line 2 is damaged, thereby increasing the service life of the connecting line 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the protective cover includes a first sleeve 3 and a second sleeve 4, the first sleeve 3 is fixed on the ultrasonic probe body 1, the first sleeve 3 is sleeved on the connecting line 2, the second sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the first sleeve 3, the second sleeve 4 is sleeved on the connecting line 2, and the inner cavity of the second sleeve 4 cooperates with the connecting line 2.

[0031] Since the inner cavity of the second sleeve 4 cooperates with the connecting wire 2, the portion of the connecting wire 2 located in the second sleeve 4 will not be offset, and the portion of the connecting wire 2 located in the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 will not be bent. With this structure, the portion of the connecting wire 2 located in the protective sleeve will not be bent.

[0032] The second sleeve 4 can be rotated in the first sleeve 3, and the second sleeve 4 can move toward or away from the ultrasonic probe body 1. With this structure, the protective cover is a retractable structure, and the other end of the protective cover can move toward or away from the probe body. In addition, it is convenient to retract the protective cover.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of internal thread segments 5 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first sleeve 3, and the plurality of internal thread segments 5 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first sleeve 3. An external thread segment 6 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of one end of the second sleeve 4 close to the ultrasonic probe body 1, and the distance between the mutually close ends of each two adjacent internal thread segments 5 is greater than the length of the external thread segment 6.

[0034] When the protective sleeve needs to be extended, the second sleeve 4 is rotated in the first sleeve 3 so that the second sleeve 4 moves away from the ultrasonic probe body 1. After the second sleeve 4 moves a certain distance, the external thread segment 6 can be separated from an internal thread segment 5 that was previously screwed with it, and then the second sleeve 4 can be pulled a certain distance away from the ultrasonic probe body 1, so that the external thread segment 6 quickly moves to the position of another internal thread segment 5 and screws with the other internal thread segment 5. The protective sleeve can be extended more quickly. When the protective sleeve needs to be shortened, the second sleeve 4 is rotated in the first sleeve 3 so that the second sleeve 4 moves toward the ultrasonic probe body 1. After the second sleeve 4 moves a certain distance, the external thread segment 6 can be separated from an internal thread segment 5 that was previously screwed with it, and then the second sleeve 4 can be pushed a certain distance toward the ultrasonic probe body 1, so that the external thread segment 6 quickly moves to the position of another internal thread segment 5 and screws with the other internal thread segment 5. The protective sleeve can be shortened more quickly. With this structure, the telescopic efficiency of the protective sleeve can be improved.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second sleeve 4 includes a sleeve body 7, a receiving groove and a soft elastic rubber ring 8. The sleeve body 7 is threadedly connected to the first sleeve 3 and sleeved on the connecting line 2. The receiving groove is formed by being recessed inward from the end surface of the sleeve body 7 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1. The soft elastic rubber ring 8 is fixed in the receiving groove. The soft elastic rubber ring 8 is adapted to the receiving groove. The soft elastic rubber ring 8 is coaxially arranged with the sleeve body 7, and the ring hole of the soft elastic rubber ring 8 matches the connecting line 2.

[0036] During the use of the ultrasonic probe with the function of protecting the connecting wires of the utility model, the position of the connecting wire 2 corresponding to the end of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1 is a position that frequently moves, and frequently rubs against the end of the inner cavity of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1. The soft elastic rubber ring 8 can protect the position of the connecting wire 2 corresponding to the end of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1, and can reduce the possibility of the connecting wire 2 being worn.

[0037] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic probe with the function of protecting the connecting line described in the utility model also includes a coil spring 9, which is fixed on the end surface of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body, and the coil spring 9 is sleeved on the connecting line 2.

[0038] During the process of bending of the connecting wire 2 at the position corresponding to the end of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1, the spring can bend along with the connecting wire 2 while providing resistance to the bending of the connecting wire 2, thereby reducing the degree of bending of the connecting wire 2 at the position corresponding to the end of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1, further reducing the degree of damage to the connecting wire 2, and further improving the service life of the connecting wire 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the ultrasonic probe with the function of protecting the connecting line described in the utility model also includes a hose 10, and the hose 10 is fixed on the end face of the second sleeve 4 facing away from the ultrasonic probe body 1. Specifically, the hose 10 is fixed on the soft elastic rubber ring 8, and the hose 10 is sleeved on the connecting line 2. The hose 10 is located in the coil spring 9, and the length of the hose 10 is greater than the length of the coil spring 9.

[0040] The hose 10 can separate the connecting line 2 and the coil spring 9, thereby preventing the coil spring 9 from scratching the surface of the connecting line 2 and reducing the possibility of the surface of the connecting line 2 being worn.

[0041] In this embodiment, the protective cover further comprises a disc 11 , which is formed by protruding outward from the outer circumference of the second sleeve 4 at one end facing away from the ultrasonic probe body, and the outer circumference of the disc 11 is formed with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 12 .

[0042] The disc 11 can function as a knob, and the second sleeve 4 can be rotated conveniently by rotating the disc 11 . The anti-skid protrusions 12 have an anti-skid function. Arranging the anti-skid protrusions 12 on the outer circumference of the disc 11 makes it easier to rotate the disc 11 .

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
