Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a coupling agent heating device. Background Art
[0002] During ultrasound examinations, in order to obtain high-quality images, a coupling agent is required to connect the probe to the patient's body surface. To avoid the cold and uncomfortable feeling caused by applying the coupling agent directly at room temperature, a coupling agent heater is required to heat the coupling agent and maintain it at a stable temperature, effectively improving the patient's comfort and the examination experience. Most of the existing coupling agent heaters have relatively simple appearance lines and the heater structure is not compact enough. The heater cannot be directly removed or the inner wall of the heater cannot be removed to clean the heater without unplugging the wires. Related prior art, such as patent document CN201110318807.6, discloses a coupling agent heater, comprising a heating component and a housing for accommodating the heating component. The heating component comprises a heat transfer component for accommodating the coupling agent and a heating film covering the heat transfer component. The housing is provided with a connection and mating structure for connecting to an ultrasonic device. The heating film comprises a metal core and an insulating material covering the metal core. The heat transfer component is cylindrical and comprises a base. The cylindrical wall extends around the base and forms a cavity for accommodating the coupling agent with the base. The heating film completely covers the outside of the cylindrical wall. The heat transfer component further comprises a convex ring protruding outwardly and in an annular shape at the end of the cylindrical wall opposite to the base. The housing further comprises a cover ring. The cover ring is buckled in the opening of the shell, and the end of the cover ring opposite to the heat transfer component is smaller than the inner diameter of the convex ring; the heater is connected to a power socket or ultrasonic equipment by a power cord. A Chinese patent discloses a coupling agent heating device (authorization announcement number CN209899423U). The patented technology discloses a coupling agent heating device, including a heater and a fixed seat. The heater has a couplant accommodating cavity, the fixed seat has a power supply board, and the heater is arranged on the fixed seat so that the heater is electrically connected to the power supply board of the fixed seat; the coupling agent heating device also includes an angle adjustment member, the angle adjustment member is fixed on a carrier, and the angle adjustment member is connected to the fixed seat to adjust the inclination angle of the fixed seat. The coupling agent heating device of the utility model uses a contact connection method. The heater can be directly removed without unplugging the heater or the heater can be removed to clean the inner wall of the heater. The inclination angle of the coupling agent heater can be freely adjusted during use, solving the problems of versatility, inconvenience in installation and removal, and non-adjustability of the coupling agent heater, giving users a new and comfortable use experience. This patented technology solves the problem that the power cord must be long enough or unplugged to remove the heater or clean the inner wall of the heater, which is very inconvenient in operation, and the inclination angle of the coupling agent heater cannot be freely adjusted during use.
[0003] However, in the prior art, the coupling agent is stored inside the bottle. During heating, the coupling agent remaining on the inner wall of the bottle is easily overheated, resulting in uneven heating of the coupling agent at the center of the bottle. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the problem of uniform heating of the coupling agent by vibration in the prior art.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a coupling agent heating device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] This utility model features an adjustable positioning structure that allows for flexible adjustment. By adjusting the spacing between the two limiting brackets within the positioning structure, it can flexibly accommodate couplant bottles of varying sizes without having to replace or adjust other components of the heating chamber, thus improving the device's compatibility and flexibility. Precise control is achieved by manually turning the handwheel, and through the worm and gear transmission mechanism, the movement of the limiting brackets can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the bottle remains stable during heating and avoiding uneven heating caused by shaking or movement.
[0018] This utility model uses a vibration-shaking process to evenly distribute the couplant. After the vibration motor is activated, the eccentric shaft rotates between the reset pad and the rubber pad. The continuously moving reset pad applies force to the vibration pad, causing the bottom of the couplant bottle to vibrate continuously. This vibration method helps evenly distribute the couplant within the bottle, avoiding uneven heating caused by uneven distribution of the couplant during heating. This improves heating uniformity. The vibration-shaking process improves the uniformity of the couplant within the bottle, further enhancing heating uniformity. This helps ensure that the couplant achieves the ideal temperature distribution during heating, improving the quality of the heating process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The examples are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
[0032] For examples, see Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, a coupling agent heating device is provided, comprising: a heating box 1; a heater 10 is mounted on the inner wall of the heating box 1 for heating a coupling agent bottle placed therein; two reset grooves 3 are vertically formed on the inner wall of the heating box 1, and both reset grooves 3 are equipped with positioning structures 2; a vibration structure 5 is provided at the bottom of the two positioning structures 2 and is mounted on the inner side of the heating box 1;
[0033] The vibration structure 5 includes a vibration pad 505 for shaking the coupling agent bottle. The vibration pad 505 is movably mounted on the inner wall of the heating chamber 1. A second return spring 504 is mounted at the bottom of the vibration pad 505, and a return pad 503 is mounted at the bottom of the second return spring 504. Below the return pad 503 is a rubber pad 501 fixedly mounted inside the heating chamber 1, with a first return spring 502 mounted between the rubber pad 501 and the return pad 503.
[0034] The bottom of the reset pad 503 is contacted with an eccentric shaft 506, which is connected to a vibration motor 507 mounted on the surface of the rubber pad 501. The positioning structure 2 includes a reset block 202 movably arranged inside the reset groove 3, and a tension spring 201 is installed between the reset block 202 and the bottom of the reset groove 3.
[0035] The tension spring 201 is in a compressed state and can be stretched by a person pulling the reset block 202. After the person lets go, the tension spring 201 is reset, causing the reset block 202 to rebound to the bottom position of the heating box 1. An adjustment frame 203 is fixed to the front side of the reset block 202 as a whole. A two-way screw rod 204 is rotatably mounted inside the adjustment frame 203, and a worm gear 205 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the middle part of the two-way screw rod 204. The worm gear 205 is meshed with a worm 206. The top end of the worm 206 rotates and passes through the outside of the adjustment frame 203 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 207.
[0036] Limiting brackets 208, which are slidably mounted on both sides of the adjustment frame 203 and are helically sleeved on the outside of the bidirectional screw rod 204, are provided. A base 4 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the heating box 1, and a controller 6 and a battery 7 are mounted inside the base 4. A heat-insulating top cover 8 is hingedly mounted on the top of the heating box 1, and a heat-insulating side cover 9 is hingedly mounted on the front side of the heat-insulating top cover 8.
[0037] According to the above embodiment, the working principle of the present invention is:
[0038] When the couplant bottle is placed inside the heating box 1, the distance between the two limiting frames 208 in the positioning structure 2 is adjusted according to the specifications of the couplant bottle. The handwheel 207 is manually rotated, which drives the worm 206 to rotate, so that the worm 206 engages with the worm wheel 205. After the worm wheel 205 rotates, it drives the bidirectional screw 204 to rotate inside the adjustment frame 203, so that the bidirectional screw 204 performs a spiral transmission on the two limiting frames 208, so that the distance between the limiting frames 208 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the couplant bottle.
[0039] After the coupling agent bottle is placed inside the heating box 1, the heater 10 can be started to heat the coupling agent bottle placed inside the heating box 1 as a whole, thereby heating the coupling agent.
[0040] When the couplant bottle is heated, the vibration motor 507 can be started, and the vibration motor 507 drives the eccentric shaft 506 to rotate between the reset pad 503 and the rubber pad 501. The rotating eccentric shaft 506 can continuously move the reset pad 503 up and down. The moving reset pad 503 can continuously compress and rebound the reset spring 2 504, exerting force on the vibration pad 505, so that the vibration pad 505 can continuously vibrate at the bottom of the couplant bottle, thereby shaking the couplant inside the couplant bottle and reducing the occurrence of uneven heating of the couplant inside the couplant bottle.
