[0026] During the scanning process, the underwater probe of the ultrasonic scanning device moves rapidly in water. During this process, the probe stirs the water, and a large number of bubbles are generated around the probe. If the bubbles appear below the probe, they will block the transmitted signal, which may cause signal loss in some positions, resulting in a black linear image at that position, affecting the scanning effect and reducing the accuracy of the scanned image.

[0027] In view of this, there is an urgent need to propose an ultrasonic scanning probe to reduce the probability that the bubbles generated by stirring water when the probe moves at high speed underwater move below the probe, reduce the interference of the bubbles on the ultrasonic signal, improve the ultrasonic scanning effect, and enhance the accuracy of the scanned image.

Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the ultrasonic scanning probe shown in the embodiments of the present application may include:

[0030] A scanning probe 1 and a moving drainage component 2, wherein the moving drainage component 2 is installed on the scanning probe 1. Further, a pointed corner portion 21 is provided on the moving drainage component 2 along the moving direction of the scanning probe 1, so that the pointed corner portion 21 can divide the water flow ( Figure 1 the shaded part in it) during the movement of the scanning probe 1 (generally, the moving speed of the scanning probe 1 in water can reach 1 m / s).

[0031] The ultrasonic scanning probe shown in the embodiments of the present application includes a scanning probe and a moving drainage component. The moving drainage component is installed on the scanning probe. A pointed corner portion is provided on the moving drainage component along the moving direction of the scanning probe, so that the pointed corner portion can divide the water flow during the movement of the scanning probe, thereby reducing the water flow resistance, effectively reducing the generation of bubbles, and the moving drainage component also effectively hinders the movement of bubbles to the lower part of the probe. Therefore, the probability that the bubbles generated by stirring water when the probe moves at high speed underwater move to the lower part of the probe can be reduced, the interference of bubbles on the ultrasonic signal can be reduced, the ultrasonic scanning effect can be improved, and the accuracy of the scanned image can be enhanced.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, an installation through hole 22 is provided in the moving drainage component 2, the scanning probe 1 passes through the installation through hole 22, and the outer wall of the probe of the scanning probe 1 is closely attached to the inner wall of the installation through hole 22, so that the moving drainage component 2 can be fixed on the scanning probe 1. In other embodiments, an external thread may be provided on the outer wall of the probe of the scanning probe 1, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall of the installation through hole 22, and the external thread and the internal thread are engaged for threaded connection, so that the moving drainage component 2 can be fixed on the scanning probe 1.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, the moving drainage component 2 can be fixed to one end of the scanning probe 1 near the acoustic wave transmission port 11, so as to effectively reduce the water flow resistance near the acoustic wave transmission port 11, reduce the generation of bubbles, and also better increase the difficulty of the bubbles moving to the acoustic wave transmission port 11 under the probe. Therefore, the probability that the bubbles generated by the agitation of water during the high-speed movement of the probe underwater move under the probe can be further reduced.
