Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary appliances, in particular to a portable coupling agent heating device. Background Art

[0002] When medical staff perform B-ultrasound examinations on critically ill patients who are unable to move normally, they need to push the portable ultrasound machine to the ward or operating table to perform ultrasound examinations or provide image assistance during the operation. At room temperature, the coupling agent has appropriate viscosity and clear ultrasound imaging. The coupling agent is mainly available in two forms: bottled and toothpaste-like packaging. However, in colder weather, the temperature of the coupling agent is relatively low. When directly applied to the human body surface, it will cause discomfort to the patient, and too low temperature will cause the coupling agent to have high viscosity, resulting in blurred ultrasound images and affecting the accuracy of the examination results. Therefore, during the ultrasound detection process of patients by medical staff, a coupling agent heating device is often needed to preheat the coupling agent.

[0003] For the existing ultrasound coupling agent heating devices, the heating equipment is relatively large. When medical staff push the portable ultrasound machine to the patient's bedside, they cannot carry the heating equipment at the same time. The heating equipment requires 220V or an adapter to convert 220V to 12V for power supply. And when performing examinations at the patient's bedside, it can only be placed beside the portable ultrasound machine for use, which is not convenient to take and cannot be adapted to the portable ultrasound machine to complete the ultrasound examination. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a portable coupling agent heating device. The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A portable coupling agent heating device includes a main body, a base, and a telescopic hanging part. A heating circuit board is installed on the base, and the heating circuit board is connected to a 5V power socket provided on the base. The main body is installed on the base. The main body is internally provided with a heating sheet. The heating circuit board is connected to the heating sheet. The main body is also internally provided with a metal heating container. The heating sheet is connected to the metal heating container. The metal heating container is used to place and heat the coupling agent. The main body is also internally provided with a storage battery. The storage battery is electrically connected to the heating circuit board. The heating circuit board is provided with a selection circuit module. When the 5V power socket is powered on, the selection circuit module controls the power supply to the heating circuit board from the 5V power socket. When the 5V power socket is not powered on, the selection circuit module controls the power supply to the heating circuit board from the storage battery. The telescopic hanging part includes a hook and a spring. The first end of the spring is connected to the hook, and the second end of the spring is connected to the main body.

[0006] In the present utility model, since the portable coupling agent heating device can be powered by a storage battery or can be powered by 5V through the USB port of the portable ultrasound machine, the portable coupling agent heating device can work without a power cord, achieving the purpose of small size and easy portability. The retractable hanging part of the portable coupling agent heating device can freely stretch through a spring, enabling the portable coupling agent heating device to be buckled at a suitable position on the portable ultrasound machine, facilitating taking and placing, adapting to the portable ultrasound machine to complete ultrasound examinations. And when the hook of the retractable hanging part is buckled on the portable ultrasound machine, the stretched spring drives the main body of the portable coupling agent heating device towards the portable ultrasound machine, making the portable coupling agent heating device firmly attached to the portable ultrasound machine. When the portable coupling agent heating device is idle, the spring that returns to its original state retracts the hook of the retractable hanging part, which can reduce the volume of the portable coupling agent heating device.

[0007] Further, the metal heating container is a double-layer ring structure, including an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring is used to place bottled coupling agent, and the gap between the inner ring and the outer ring is used to place bagged coupling agent, which can simultaneously meet the heating of bottled and bagged coupling agents.

[0008] Further, the heating sheet is placed around the metal heating container, with a large heating area and high efficiency.

[0009] Further, in order to facilitate hospital staff to view the device status and heating temperature status, a display device is provided on the main body.

[0010] Further, in order to facilitate the taking and placing of the storage battery, the main body includes a detachable cover. The retractable hanging part is connected to the cover through a spring, and the storage battery is embedded in the inner wall of the cover. Preferably, the cover is provided with a magnet to adsorb the metal part of the portable ultrasound machine for reinforcement. Preferably, the retractable hanging part includes a connecting piece with a chute. The connecting piece is connected to the cover, and the ends of the spring and the hook are both installed in the chute. The first end of the spring is connected to the end of the hook, and the second end of the spring 10 is fixed in the chute.

[0011] Further, the base is provided with a through hole. The bottled coupling agent is poured into the inner ring of the metal heating container, and the nozzle of the bottled coupling agent passes through the through hole, facilitating the extrusion of the bottled coupling agent.
