Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic imaging probe cleaner. Background Art

[0002] Ultrasound diagnosis is a diagnostic method that applies ultrasound technology to the human body. By measuring physiological or tissue structural data and morphology, it can detect diseases and provide diagnostic information. Ultrasound diagnosis is a non-invasive, painless, convenient, and intuitive diagnostic tool. B-ultrasound, in particular, has a wide range of applications and a significant impact. Ultrasound used in medical diagnosis primarily utilizes pulse-echo technology, including A-, B-, D-, M-, and V-mode ultrasounds. Development trends indicate that ultrasound is progressing towards three-dimensional imaging. Furthermore, penetration technology and tissue characterization are also being diligently researched by numerous ultrasound practitioners.

[0003] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous increase in health awareness, ultrasound examinations are widely used in hospitals at all levels because they are simple, convenient and non-invasive. Generally, ultrasound probes in hospitals are used continuously. After examining one patient, they are simply wiped with toilet paper and then used on the next patient. High-frequency probes, in particular, are widely used in superficial tissues and organs throughout the body and are cross-used, making them highly susceptible to damage. Currently, ultrasound imaging probes are generally cleaned by hand washing. However, the current cleaning method is relatively simple, with poor cleaning effect and low cleaning efficiency. To address this problem, an improved ultrasound imaging probe cleaner has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides an ultrasonic imaging probe cleaner. Specifically, it includes a chassis 1 having an openable or closable door 2, a cleaning container 5 for accommodating a probe 01, a cleaning assembly 6 disposed on the top of the chassis 1, a carrier plate 3 for carrying the cleaning container 5 disposed below the cleaning assembly 6, and a screw moving module 4 disposed inside the chassis 1 for driving the carrier plate 3 to move up and down. By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the ultrasonic imaging probe cleaner, by providing the cleaning container 5 for accommodating and fixing the probe 01 and the cleaning assembly 6 for cleaning the probe 01, can automatically clean the probe 01, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and enhancing cleaning effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cleaning container 5 includes a cleaning cup 51 and a probe holder 52. The probe holder 52 is detachably mounted in the cleaning cup 51. A positioning post 511 is provided in the center of the cleaning cup 51. A positioning sleeve 522 that matches the positioning post 511 is provided at the bottom of the probe holder 52. A slot 521 for engaging the probe 01 is provided on the top of the probe holder 52. By adopting the above structural design, the cleaning container 5 includes the cleaning cup 51 and the probe holder 52. The probe holder 52 is used to support and fix the probe 01. A positioning sleeve 522 is provided at the bottom of the probe holder 52 and is detachably connected to the positioning post 511 provided in the center of the cleaning cup 51. This allows the detection surface of the probe 01 to face the cleaning assembly 6, facilitating cleaning and facilitating the removal of the probe holder 52 and the removal of the probe 01. A cup holder 31 is provided on the carrier plate 3. A groove is provided on the cup holder 31 for accommodating the cleaning cup 51. By arranging a cup holder 31 on the loading plate 3 , a groove for accommodating the cleaning cup 51 is opened on the cup holder 31 , thereby preventing the cleaning cup 51 from tipping over during the cleaning process.

[0039] In this embodiment, the screw moving module 4 includes: a screw 41 rotatably mounted on the chassis 1, the top of the screw 41 is connected to a hand-cranked wheel 42 exposed from the chassis 1, a screw nut 43 is provided on the screw 41, and the screw nut 43 is fixedly connected to the carrier plate 3; two guide slides 44 are provided on both sides of the screw 41, a through hole is opened on the carrier plate 3, and a slider 45 is provided on the guide slide 44, and the slider 45 is fixedly connected to the through hole of the carrier plate 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 6 includes a drive motor 64, which is vertically fixed to the top wall of the chassis 1. A mounting head 63 is mounted on the head of the drive motor 64. A cleaning head 62 is rotatably mounted on the mounting head 63 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 64 via a coupling. Bristles 61 are provided on the cleaning head 62. The cleaning head 62 is circular in shape, with a radius smaller than that of the cleaning cup 51. The cleaning head 62 can be inserted into the cleaning cup 51 to clean the probe 01 within the cup. A protective housing 65 is provided on the exterior of the drive motor 64.

[0041] Working principle: First, place the probe 01 in the slot 521 of the probe holder 52, then connect the probe holder 52 to the positioning column 511 of the cleaning cup 51, then add an appropriate amount of cleaning liquid into the cleaning cup 51 to submerge the probe 01, and place the cleaning cup 51 on the cup holder 31 on the carrier plate 3. By turning the hand-cranked wheel 42 to rotate the screw rod 41, the screw rod 41 causes the screw nut 43 to move linearly, driving the hand-cranked wheel 42 to move up and down, so that the probe 01 in the cleaning cup 51 contacts the bristles 61. Driven by the drive motor 64, the cleaning head 62 rotates to drive the bristles 61 to rotate and clean the surface of the probe 01. After cleaning is completed, reverse the operation to remove the probe 01.
