[0039] 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 part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0040] It should also be understood that the terms used in this utility model specification are only for describing specific realities. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0041] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a covering member for a connector of an ultrasound probe assembly, wherein the covering member includes a covering shell 200, and the covering shell 200 covers the outside of at least a portion of the connector to protect the connector and enhance the waterproof performance of the connector to prevent damage to the connector during immersion disinfection.

[0043] Among them, the ultrasound probe assembly includes an ultrasound probe, a connector and a cover of the connector. The ultrasound probe is electrically connected to the connector and transmits signals through the connector. The connector is configured to couple or separate with the socket slot of the medical device. Since some ultrasound probes are inserted into the body for use, they will come into direct contact with the patient's body fluids, etc. For such probes, in order to sterilize or disinfect them, the ultrasound probe needs to be immersed in a liquid medicine for sterilization or disinfection after use. The cable and connector connected to the ultrasound probe may also be immersed in the liquid medicine. Therefore, when the ultrasound probe is sterilized or disinfected, the connection is required to be sealed to prevent the liquid medicine from contacting the connector during the cleaning process of the ultrasound probe, causing the electrical contacts of the connector to be corroded or entering the connector to cause the circuit elements to be corroded, thereby affecting the use of the connector.

[0044] The present application can not only protect the connector by covering the cover shell 200 covering at least part of the outer side of the connector, but also prevent liquids such as disinfectant from contacting the expansion interface of the connector when the ultrasonic probe is disinfected, affecting the expansion interface, or even entering the interior of the connector from the expansion interface, thereby playing a waterproof role. In addition, the present application does not require major modifications to the original structure of the connector, or even redesigning the structure, and has a simple structure and low cost, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the product.

[0045] In some embodiments, the connector is provided with an expansion interface and a connection portion, wherein the expansion interface is used to connect to an expansion unit of a medical device; and the connection portion is used to connect to a socket slot to achieve electrical connection between the connector and the medical device. The covering shell 200 includes a first shell 201 and a second shell (not shown in the figure), and the first shell 201 is connected to the second shell and covers the outside of the connector.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cover also includes a sealing assembly 100, and a through hole structure 2011 is provided on the first shell 201, and the through hole structure 2011 is connected to the expansion interface so that the expansion unit can pass through the through hole structure 2011 and connect with the expansion interface; when the expansion interface is not connected to the expansion unit, the sealing assembly 100 can be installed to the through hole structure 2011 to maintain the sealing of the cover, prevent liquids such as disinfectants from entering the expansion interface, and prevent the expansion interface and even the entire connector from being affected by liquids such as disinfectants.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sealing assembly 100 includes a sealing member 20 and a sealing seat body 10 for cooperating with the through-hole structure 2011. The sealing seat body 10 is provided with a locking structure for unlocking or locking the sealing assembly 100. The sealing member 20 is arranged on the sealing seat body 10 and is in a compressed state when the sealing assembly 100 is in a locked state, so as to seal the through-hole structure 2011 to prevent liquids such as disinfectants from contacting the expansion interface or entering the interior of the connector through the through-hole structure 2011, thereby greatly improving the waterproof effect of the connector. At the same time, when the expansion unit needs to be connected to the connector, the sealing assembly 100 can be unlocked by the locking structure and the sealing assembly 100 can be removed from the through-hole structure 2011, so that the expansion unit can be connected to the expansion interface.

[0048] It should be noted that the locking structure can be a convex structure or a groove structure that is engaged with the through hole structure 2011, or other suitable structural designs that can cooperate with the through hole structure 2011 to lock the sealing seat body 10 in the through hole structure 2011, such as a threaded structure.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 3 to 7As shown, a locking protrusion 11 is provided on the surface of the locking structure, and a locking groove 40a is provided on the inner side of the through hole structure 2011. When the sealing assembly 100 is in a locked state, the locking protrusion 11 is snapped into the locking groove 40a to fix at least part of the sealing seat body 10 in the through hole structure 2011. Through the snap-fitting structure of the locking protrusion 11 and the locking groove 40a, the assembly and disassembly of the sealing seat body 10 are very convenient and quick. Among them, the sealing member 20 can be arranged on the end face where the sealing seat body 10 contacts the bottom of the through-hole structure 2011, and when the sealing seat body 10 is clamped in the locking groove 40a through the locking protrusion 11, the sealing member 20 is compressed between the sealing seat body 10 and the bottom of the through-hole structure 2011 to form a sealed connection; or, the sealing member 20 is arranged on the end face where the sealing seat body 10 matches the outer end face of the through-hole structure 2011, and when the sealing seat body 10 is clamped in the locking groove 40a through the locking protrusion 11, the sealing member 20 is compressed between the outer end face of the sealing seat body 10 and the through-hole structure 2011 to form a sealed connection; or, the sealing member 20 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the sealing seat body 10, and when the sealing seat body 10 is clamped in the locking groove 40a through the locking protrusion 11, the sealing member 20 is compressed between the outer peripheral side of the sealing seat body 10 and the inner side wall of the through-hole structure 2011 to form a sealed connection.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the locking protrusion 11 has a first inclined surface 113 inclined along the height, and the locking groove 40a has a second inclined surface 43 inclined along the height. When the sealing seat body 10 rotates on the inner side of the through-hole structure 2011, the first inclined surface 113 rotates and slides along the second inclined surface 43 to achieve the engagement of the locking protrusion 11 with the locking groove 40a. At the same time, the sealing member 20 arranged between the sealing seat body 10 and the outer end surface of the through-hole structure 2011 can also be compressed to ensure sufficient surface pressure and contact area applied to the sealing member 20, so as to prevent liquid from entering the covering shell 200 from the gap between the sealing seat body 10 and the through-hole structure 2011 and causing corrosion of circuit elements in the expansion interface or connector.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the locking protrusion 11 includes a plurality of inclined protrusions formed on the surface of the locking structure, and the locking groove 40a includes a plurality of inclined grooves formed on the inner side of the through-hole structure 2011, and the positions of the plurality of inclined protrusions correspond to the positions of the plurality of inclined grooves, so that the sealing seat body 10 can form a stable connection in the through-hole structure 2011 by snapping the plurality of inclined protrusions and the plurality of inclined grooves; at the same time, when the sealing seat body 10 rotates along the inclined protrusions, the sealing seat body 10 can squeeze the seal 20 when in the state.

[0052] Exemplarily, the bevel protrusion includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the bevel groove includes a first groove and a second groove, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the sealing seat body 10, and the position of the bevel groove corresponds to the position of the first protrusion and the second protrusion, so that the first protrusion and the second protrusion can be correspondingly engaged in the bevel groove to ensure the locking effect.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, one of the locking protrusion 11 and the locking groove 40a is provided with a positioning protrusion 114, and one of the locking protrusion 11 and the locking groove 40a is provided with a positioning groove 44. The positioning protrusion 114 cooperates with the positioning groove 44 to limit the rotation of the sealing seat body 10 on the inner side of the through hole structure 2011 when the sealing assembly 100 is in a locked state, and can also generate a positioning prompt.

[0054] Exemplarily, the in-position protrusion 114 is arranged on the locking protrusion 11, and the in-position groove 44 is arranged in the locking groove 40a. When the sealing seat body 10 is rotated to a locked state relative to the through hole structure 2011, the locking protrusion 11 is just engaged in the locking groove 40a to produce an in-position reminder function and limit the sealing seat body 10 from moving relative to the through hole structure 2011 in the absence of external force. At this time, the sealing member 20 is squeezed by the outer end faces of the sealing seat body 10 and the through hole structure 2011 to form an end face seal.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the locking protrusion 11 has a first position 111 , the positioning protrusion 114 is arranged at the first position 111 or near the first position 111 , and the position of the positioning groove 44 corresponds to the position of the positioning protrusion 114 .

[0056] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the first inclined surface 113 has a second position 112, the first position 111 is located at the lowest position of the first inclined surface 113, and the second position 112 is located at the highest position of the first inclined surface 113. The second inclined surface 43 has a starting end 41 and a terminating end 42, the starting end 41 is located at the highest position of the second inclined surface 43, and the terminating end 42 is located at the lowest position of the second inclined surface 43. When the sealing seat body 10 is installed to the through hole structure 2011 and is not locked, the locking protrusion 11 enters the locking slot 40a from the starting end 41 of the locking slot 40a through the first position 111, and when the sealing seat body 10 is installed in a locked state, the first position 111 rotates to the terminating end 42, and the second position 112 corresponds to the position of the starting end 41.

[0057] It should be noted that the lowest position of the first inclined surface 113 means that when the sealing seat body 10 is placed on the placement surface, the operating part 14 of the sealing seat body 10 is located above the positioning protrusion 114, and the height of the first inclined surface 113 and the placement surface gradually increases from the first position 111 to the second position 112, that is, the distance between the first position 111 and the bottom of the sealing seat body 10 is smaller than the distance between the second position 112 and the bottom of the sealing seat body 10; similarly, the highest position of the second inclined surface 43 means that after the bearing structure 40 is fixed to the first shell 201 or the bearing structure 40 and the first shell 201 are integrally formed, the height of the second inclined surface 43 gradually decreases from the starting end 41 to the ending end 42, that is, the distance between the highest position of the second inclined surface 43 and the bottom of the locking groove 40a is greater than the distance between the lowest position of the second inclined surface 43 and the bottom of the locking groove 40a.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the sealing member 20 includes a sealing ring, and a mounting groove 131 is provided on a side of the sealing seat body 10 facing the through hole structure 2011, and at least a portion of the sealing ring is fixed in the mounting groove 131, so that the sealing ring can abut between the sealing seat body 10 and the through hole structure 2011 and undergo elastic deformation. Among them, fixing at least a portion of the sealing ring in the mounting groove 131 can not only improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring, but also limit the sealing ring on the sealing seat body 10, so that the sealing ring does not move relative to the sealing seat body 10 during the rotation of the sealing seat body 10.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the sealing seat body 10 is provided with an annular protrusion 13 that cooperates with the outer end face of the through hole structure 2011, and a mounting groove 131 is formed on the side of the annular protrusion 13 facing the through hole structure 2011, so that the sealing ring can abut between the annular protrusion 13 and the outer end face of the through hole structure 2011 to form an end face seal.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, a guide groove 12 is formed on the sealing seat body 10, and a guide protrusion 40b extends upward from the bottom of the through-hole structure 2011. The guide protrusion 40b cooperates with the guide groove 12 to guide the sealing seat body 10 to be installed into the through-hole structure 2011; at the same time, the cooperation between the guide protrusion 40b and the guide groove 12 forms a maze structure to further enhance the waterproof performance of the cover.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the cover shell 200 includes a bearing structure 40, the guide protrusion 40b and the locking slide groove 40a are both arranged in the bearing structure 40, and the bearing structure 40 is fixed in the through-hole structure 2011, so that the bearing structure 40 can form an integrated structure with the first shell 201. Through the design of the split structure, the structural process of the first shell 201 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the first shell 201 can be reduced.

[0062] After adopting the above technical solution, if Figures 1 to 7 As shown, when the sealing assembly 100 needs to be opened, the sealing seat body 10 is rotated to separate the locking protrusion 11 from the locking groove 40a, and then the sealing seat body 10 is lifted upward to remove the sealing seat body 10 from the through-hole structure 2011. When the sealing seat body 10 needs to be installed in the through-hole structure 2011, the sealing seat body 10 is placed in the through-hole structure 201 and the sealing seat body 10 is rotated so that the locking protrusion 11 can be engaged with the locking groove 40a, and the sealing member 20 on the sealing seat body 10 can be compressed, so that the sealing assembly 100 can be sealed and connected with the first housing 201.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 8 to 12 As shown, a locking thread 15 is provided on the surface of the locking structure of the sealing seat body 10, and a locking screw groove 40c is provided on the inner side of the through hole structure 2011. When the sealing assembly 100 is in a locked state, the locking thread 15 is threadedly connected with the locking screw groove 40c to fix at least part of the sealing seat body 100 in the through hole structure 2011. The connection between the sealing assembly 100 and the through hole structure 2011 is more convenient and quick by means of threads, and the sealing seat body 10 can be quickly unlocked or locked by rotating the sealing seat body 10. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the sealing member 20 includes a sealing ring, which abuts between the sealing seat body 10 and the through hole structure 2011 so that an end face seal can be formed between the sealing seat body 10 and the through hole structure 2011 .

[0065] Exemplarily, a sealing ring groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the sealing seat body 10, and the sealing ring is installed in the sealing ring groove 16. When the sealing seat body 10 is fixed to the through hole structure 2011 by the cooperation between the locking thread 15 and the locking screw groove 40c, the sealing ring abuts between the sealing seat body 10 and the bottom of the through hole structure 2011 to form an end face seal.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the sealing seat body 10 further includes an operating portion 14 , which is disposed in the radial direction of the sealing seat body 10 and is used to drive the sealing seat body 10 to rotate inside the through hole structure 2011 .

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the operating part 14 is rotatably mounted on the sealing seat body 10, and is used to drive the sealing seat body 10 to rotate relative to the through-hole structure 2011. Since the operating part 14 is rotatably connected to the sealing seat body 10, the operating part 14 can be lifted up when the sealing seat body 10 needs to be driven to rotate, and then a force that can drive the sealing seat body 10 to rotate is applied to the operating part 14. When the sealing seat body 10 does not need to be driven to rotate, the operating part 14 can be flattened, which is more beautiful and easy to operate.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover shell 200 is provided with a first indicating portion 2013 , and the sealing seat body 10 is provided with a second indicating portion. The first indicating portion 2013 cooperates with the second indicating portion to indicate the locked state or unlocked state of the sealing assembly 100 .

[0069] For example, the first indicator 2013 may be an indicator strip engraved on the cover housing 200, and the second indicator on the sealing seat body 10 may be a locking mark engraved on the sealing seat body 10, and the locking mark includes an unlocking mark and a locking mark. When the unlocking mark corresponds to the indicator strip, the sealing seat body 10 is in an unlocked state, and the sealing seat body 10 can be taken out of the cover housing 200; when the locking mark corresponds to the indicator strip, the sealing seat body 10 is in a locked state, which facilitates the user to detect the locked state or unlocked state of the sealing assembly 100.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the cover also includes an anti-lost rope 30, one end of the anti-lost rope 30 is connected to the covering shell 200, and the other end of the anti-lost rope 30 is connected to the sealing seat body 10 to achieve the connection between the sealing seat body 10 and the covering shell 200.

[0071] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the anti-lost rope 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32. A fixing protrusion 2012 is provided on one side of the covering shell 200. The first end 31 is connected to the fixing protrusion 2012, and the second end 32 is sleeved on the sealing seat body 10, so that the sealing seat body 10 can be movably connected to the covering shell 200.
