Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of ultrasonic probes, and particularly to a preheating device for an ultrasonic probe. Background Art

[0002] An ultrasonic probe is an essential component in an ultrasonic device, which usually has a sound head for emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves and a trigger button for controlling the working state of the probe. During detection, the operator holds the probe and contacts the front end of the sound head with the person to be detected. The sound head emits ultrasonic waves and receives the reflected ultrasonic waves for forming an image for the operator's reference. In the medical field, ultrasonic technology has become a key means for diagnosis and monitoring. However, in order to ensure the normal operation of the ultrasonic probe and obtain high-quality medical images, the probe needs to be preheated before use.

When the size of the probe changes, the user may need to adjust or replace the storage table or bracket, which increases the complexity and cost of use.

[0006] To achieve the above object, this application provides the following technical solution: A preheating device for an ultrasonic probe, including a base, a stretching table is fixedly connected to the top of the base, a moving groove is provided inside the stretching table, a spring is fixedly connected inside the moving groove, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod penetrates through the side of the stretching table and is fixedly connected to a support plate at the end, the connecting rod is slidably connected inside the connecting rod, a clamping block is slidably connected to the upper end of the support plate, a sliding groove is provided inside the clamping block, and the support plate is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, four moving grooves are arranged in the stretching table at equal intervals. The springs in the upper and lower moving grooves are fixedly connected to the left end inside the moving grooves, and the springs in the middle two moving grooves are fixedly connected to the right side inside the moving grooves. There are two support plates, which are respectively located on both sides of the stretching table. When storing and heating ultrasonic probes of different specifications, the ultrasonic probe is vertically pushed into the clamping block. During this process, the clamping block will receive an outward thrust, thereby driving the support plate to move outward. The support plate will drive the internal spring to stretch. When the ultrasonic head completely enters the included angle between the support plates, the spring will drive the support plate to contract inward, and the support plate will drive the clamping block to contract inward. At this time, the clamping block will clamp and fix the handheld part of the ultrasonic probe. Thus, the spring contraction drives the clamping block to clamp and fix the ultrasonic probe, so as to further preheat the ultrasonic probe.

The support rotating shaft is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A stop block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding groove, and a rotating groove is provided at the outer side position of the clamping block.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bottom of the support rotating shaft abuts against the top of the stop block, the clamping block can rotate outward along the support rotating shaft as the center, so that the top of the rotating groove fits against the outer side of the support plate. At this time, the inner side of the clamping block is perpendicular upward, which is more convenient for pushing the ultrasonic probe into the heating area.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a fixing strip is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding groove. A longitudinal sliding groove is provided at the inner side position of the support plate, and the fixing strip is slidably connected inside the longitudinal sliding groove.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a copper ring is fixedly connected to one end of the side of the base. The copper ring is fixedly arranged inside the storage groove, and the end of the copper ring is fixedly connected to the other end of the side of the base.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of the copper ring inside the storage groove, when the copper ring is electrified and heated, the copper ring will quickly conduct heat outward through the storage groove after being heated, thereby promoting the storage groove to preheat the ultrasonic probe at the top.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a bayonet is provided at the top position of the clamping block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, through the setting of the bayonet, it is convenient to clamp the handheld part of the ultrasonic probe through the bayonet, thereby realizing the fixation of the ultrasonic probe.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-6 , a preheating device for an ultrasonic probe, including a base 1, a stretching table 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a moving groove 201 is arranged inside the stretching table 2, a spring 202 is fixedly connected inside the moving groove 201, one end of the spring 202 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 203, and one end of the connecting rod 203 penetrates through the side of the stretching table 2 and is fixedly connected to a support plate 4 at the end. Among them, four moving grooves 201 are arranged in the stretching table 2 in an equidistant arrangement order. The springs 202 in the upper and lower moving grooves 201 are fixedly connected to the left end position inside the moving groove 201, and the springs 202 in the middle two moving grooves 201 are fixedly connected to the right position inside the moving groove 201. Among them, there are two support plates 4, which are respectively located at both sides of the stretching table 2. The connecting rod 203 is slidably connected inside the connecting rod 203, and a clamping block 5 is slidably connected to the upper end of the support plate 4. A sliding groove 7 is arranged inside the clamping block 5, and the support plate 4 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 7;

[0029] When storing and heating ultrasonic probes of different specifications, the ultrasonic probe is vertically pushed into the clamping block 5. During this process, the clamping block 5 will receive an outward thrust, thereby driving the support plate 4 to move outward. The support plate 4 will drive the internal spring 202 to stretch. When the ultrasonic head completely enters the included angle between the support plates 4, the spring 202 will drive the support plate 4 to contract inward, and drive the clamping block 5 to contract inward through the support plate 4. At this time, the clamping block 5 will clamp and fix the handheld part of the ultrasonic probe. Thus, the clamping block 5 clamps and fixes the ultrasonic probe by driving the contraction of the spring 202, so as to carry out further preheating work of the ultrasonic probe.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, a heating table 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the stretching table 2, and a storage groove 10 is arranged on the top of the heating table 3. Among them, the heating table 3 is fixed to the top of the stretching table 2 by a plurality of heat conducting sheets arranged in an equidistant arrangement order. The arrangement of the storage groove 10 facilitates the storage of the ultrasonic probe.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown in the figure, a support rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 4. The support rotating shaft 13 is slidably connected inside the chute 7. A stop block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the chute 7. A rotating notch 9 is provided at the outer side position of the clamping block 5. When the bottom of the support rotating shaft 13 abuts against the top of the stop block 14, the clamping block 5 can rotate outward along the support rotating shaft 13 as the center, so that the top of the rotating notch 9 fits against the outer side position of the support plate 4. At this time, the inner side of the clamping block 5 is perpendicular upward, thus making it more convenient to push the ultrasonic probe into the heating area.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, a fixing strip 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the chute 7. A longitudinal chute 12 is provided at the inner side position of the support plate 4. The fixing strip 11 is slidably connected inside the longitudinal chute 12. The arrangement of the fixing strip 11 and the longitudinal chute 12 makes the sliding of the clamping block 5 on the outer side of the support plate 4 more stable and smooth.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, a copper ring 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the side of the base 1. The copper ring 6 is fixedly arranged inside the storage groove 10. The end of the copper ring 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the side of the base 1. Through the arrangement of the copper ring 6 inside the storage groove 10, when the copper ring 6 is electrified and heated, the copper ring 6 will quickly conduct heat outward through the storage groove 10 after being heated, so as to promote the storage groove 10 to preheat the ultrasonic probe at the top.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, a bayonet 8 is provided at the top position of the clamping block 5. Through the arrangement of the bayonet 8, it is convenient to clamp the handheld part of the ultrasonic probe through the bayonet 8, so as to realize the fixation of the ultrasonic probe.

[0035] Working principle: When the clamping block 5 does not clamp the ultrasonic probe, the chute 7 inside the clamping block 5 is perpendicular to the support plate 4. At this time, the inner side position of the clamping block 5 is perpendicular upward. When the ultrasonic probe is inside the storage groove 10, the ultrasonic probe is attached to the inner side of the clamping block 5 and pushed vertically downward. During the pushing process, the clamping block 5 will rotate inward along the support rotating shaft 13 until the chute 7 and the support plate 4 are in the same vertical line. After rotating inward, the bayonet 8 will be stuck at the handheld position of the ultrasonic probe to fix it. At the same time, during the process of pushing the ultrasonic probe into the clamping block 5, the whole clamping block 5 will move outward, thereby driving the support plate 4 at the bottom of the clamping block 5 to move outward. When the support plate 4 moves outward, the connecting rod 203 fixed to its bottom will drive the spring 202 to stretch. After the ultrasonic probe is pushed into the storage groove 10, the spring 202 will contract inward, thereby driving the clamping block 5 at the top of the support plate 4 to move inward, thus cooperating with the bayonet 8 to clamp the handheld part of the ultrasonic probe;

[0036] When heating, the copper ring 6 on the side of the base 1 is electrified and heated. Since the copper ring 6 is arranged inside the storage groove 10, after the copper ring 6 is heated, the heat will be conducted from the copper ring 6 to the storage groove 10, and then through the storage groove 10, the heat will be conducted into the ultrasonic probe, thereby realizing the preheating of the ultrasonic probe;

[0037] After the preheating is completed, only need to pull up the heated ultrasonic probe upwards, so that the head of the ultrasonic probe drives the clamping block 5 to rise. When the support rotating shaft 13 abuts against the top of the stop block 14, at this time, continue to pull up. During this process, the clamping block 5 will rotate outwards along the support rotating shaft 13, so that the inner chute 7 of the clamping block 5 is perpendicular to the support plate 4. At this time, the ultrasonic probe completely disengages from the inside of the clamping block 5, thereby completing the removal of the ultrasonic probe;

[0038] Through the setting of the support plate 4, the clamping block 5 can adapt to ultrasonic probes of different specifications. The connecting rod 203 at the bottom of the support plate 4 enables the support plate 4 to extend outwards through the connected spring 202, so as to make corresponding adjustments according to the size of the probe, ensure the stable placement of the probe, and keep it stable during the heating process.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
